The novel opens with the action of the plot already underway. The reddleman Diggory Venn rides onto the heath with Thomasin Yeobright in the back of his wagon: her marriage to Damon Wildeve was delayed by an error in the marriage certificate, and Thomasin collapsed. We soon learn that Wildeve orchestrated the error himself. He is infatuated with Eustacia Vye, and is, at least to some extent, using Thomasin as a device to make Eustacia jealous. When Venn learns of the romance between Eustacia and Wildeve, his own love for Thomasin induces him to intervene on her behalf, which he will continue to do throughout the novel. But Venn's attempts to persuade Eustacia to allow Wildeve to marry Thomasin, like his own marriage proposal to Thomasin, are unsuccessful.

Into this confused tangle of lovers comes Clym Yeobright, Thomasin's cousin and the son of the strong-willed widow Mrs. Yeobright, who also serves as a guardian to Thomasin. Eustacia sees in the urbane Clym an escape from the hated heath. Even before she meets him, Eustacia convinces herself to fall in love with Clym, breaking off her romance with Wildeve, who then marries Thomasin. Chance and Eustacia's machinations bring Clym and her together, and they begin a courtship that will eventually end in their marriage, despite the strong objections of Mrs. Yeobright. Once Wildeve hears of Eustacia's marriage, he again begins to desire her, although he is already married to Thomasin.

小说一开始就进入了情节之中。红土商Diggyory Venn奔行在石子荒地上,Thomasin Yeobright坐在他的车后部:她与Mamon Wiildeve的婚姻因为结婚证书上的小错误而被延误了,Thomasin崩溃了。我们很快就了解到,Wildeve他自己精心策划的这个小错误。他热恋着Eustacia Vye,而且,最起码在一定程度上,是正在利用Thomasin作为工具促使Eustacia产生妒忌。当Venn获悉Eustacia和Wildeve之间的浪漫事,他自己对于Thomasin的爱促使他代表她进行干涉,而这一点会一直贯穿整个小说。 但是Venn试图劝说Eustacia允许Wildeve娶Thomasin,却未能成功,正如同他自己向Thomasin提婚一样未果。

在这这个令人困惑的混乱婚恋中,Clym Yeobright出现了。Yeobright是Thomasin的表哥,他是固执的Yeobright夫人的儿子,夫人也是Thomasin的监护人。Eustacia在大都市看到了Clym,她为了要离开炎热的石头荒地而来此消遣一下。甚至在她遇到他之前,Eustacia自认为自己已经爱上了Clym,断绝了与Wildeve的恋情,而他后来娶了Thomasin。机会和Eustacia的精心策划使得Clym和她走到了一起,而后他们开始一段恋情,这段恋情最终促成了他们的婚姻,虽然曾遭受过Mrs。 Yeobright的强烈反对。虽说此时他已经去了Thomsasin,一当Wideve听说Eustacia的婚姻,他重新燃起了对她的渴望。
