Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman

Thomas Hardy's tragic novel follows Tess Durbeyfield, a young rural Englishwoman whose life is shaped by poverty, injustice, and rigid Victorian moral standards. It suits adult readers of classic literature and those studying nineteenth-century social themes. A note on two details in your record: this is a classic first published in 1891, not 1994 (likely a reprint date), and its themes make it more suited to adult or older-student readers than the "kids" subject area suggests.
