Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Strawberries ...

This book brings back memories of a lecture in the large lecture theatre in first or second year. The lecturer told us that each point he made would begin with P (or was it S?) So ... passion, pride, (emmm, I'm struggling ... was it sex, strawberries ...hmmmm .... I think it was just as well that I wasn't leading that lecture!)

Anyway, the lecture as a whole was memorable, even if the topics aren't now!
