The Well-Beloved A romantic artist in search of his muse, or a shameless philanderer? The sculptor Jocelyn Pierston has loved many women in his long quest for beauty and perfection but seems doomed forever to pursue the elusive 'Well-Beloved', who takes so many shifting forms. Returning to his native Portland after years of restless travel he sees at last the one he seeks. Will his feelings be reciprocated or is he doomed once more to disillusionment and despair? The Well-Beloved is a thoughtful and fascinating novel in which Hardy explores the nature of love and human attraction.
