Tamara Drewe

Tamara Drewe is a free adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd, a 19th century classic. The result is an unclassifiable and original graphic novel, a bittersweet book about success and failure, love, infidelity, desire, everyday pleasures, life and unexpected death. With equal parts cruelty and empathy, Simmonds satirises human relationships in contemporary society, portraying intellectual elites more concerned with their image and gossip than creating solid and lasting works with his sharp pen.
