Thomas Hardy's *The Well-Beloved* is a poignant exploration of artistic obsession and the elusive nature of love, spanning forty years in the life of sculptor Jocelyn Pierston. Driven by a lifelong quest to capture his ideal woman in both art and life, Pierston finds himself entangled with three generations of the same family on the mystical Isle of Slingers.
