The Fiddler of the Reels

The Fiddler of the Reels tells the story of a love triangle. The enigmatic, brilliant, and rakish violin player, Wat Ollamore, who arrives in the small South Wessex village of Mellstock, exercises a diabolical fascination with the young, impressionable Car’line Aspent. Car’line’s beau, Ned Hipcroft, is unable to compete with Ollamore’s sinister hold on her … but when four years later Car’line suddenly writes to Ned out of the blue and offers to marry him, things turn out to be very different than he could have ever imagined.
