Gone To Earth is a novel by Mary Webb, first published in 1917. The book tells the story of Hazel Woodus, a beautiful and free-spirited young woman who lives in the Shropshire countryside with her father. Hazel is deeply connected to nature and the animals that surround her, and she possesses a mystical understanding of the world around her.When a wealthy landowner, Jack Reddin, comes into her life, Hazel's world is turned upside down. Reddin is drawn to Hazel's beauty and wildness, and she is equally drawn to his wealth and power. But their relationship is complicated by the fact that Hazel is already engaged to a local clergyman, Edward Marston.As Hazel struggles to navigate her feelings for both men, she is forced to confront the harsh realities of life in rural England. Webb's vivid descriptions of the Shropshire landscape and its inhabitants bring the story to life, and her exploration of themes such as love, nature, and fate make Gone To Earth a timeless classic.Afterwards he walked part way home with Hazel, and coming back under the driving sky--that seemed to move all in a piece like a sliding window, and showed the moon as a slim lady waiting for unlooked-for happenings--he could have wept at the crude sweetness of Hazel. She was of so ruthless an honesty towards herself as well as others; she had such strange lights and shadows in her eyes, her voice, her soul; she was so full of faults, and so brimming with fascination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
