About book My Name Is Martha Brown (2000)

A sad and unsettling tale of an illiterate working class woman struggling to find her place in society and make ends meet in tough and troubled times.Based on a true story, Martha Brown's lot in life fascinated and influenced an impressionable Thomas Hardy who witnessed her hanging as a young lad.It is not an easy story to read, but is definitely worth your while. The author and her fellow researchers have painstakingly pieced together this unfortunate woman's life against whom the odds were stacked from the very day she was born.Extremely well written and beautifully detailed, the author brings to life the toil and hardships of 19th century rural communities in such a manner that you can imagine yourself amongst them watching the tragedy unfold.
