The Mayor of Casterbridge plot

At a country fair, worker Michael Henchard sells his wife Susan and baby Elizabeth Jane in a drunken stupor, thinking he would be better off without them. They are bought by navigator Newson. After realizing his deed, Henchard vows never to touch a drop again. Eighteen years later, he's the wealthy, respected mayor of Casterbridge, but when his wife and daughter return to the town, they'll make a big difference.
