Small House at Allington
Small House at Allington | Anthony Trollope
3 posts | 13 read | 5 to read
'She had resolved to trust in everything, and, having so trusted, she would not provide for herself any possibility of retreat.' Lively and attractive, Lily Dale lives with her mother and sister at the Small House at Allington. She falls passionately in love with the suave Adolphus Crosbie, and is devastated when he abandons her for the aristocratic Lady Alexandrina de Courcy. But Lily has another suitor, Johnny Eames, who has been devoted to her since boyhood. Perhaps she can find renewed happiness in Johnny's courtship? The Small House at Allington was among the most successful of Trollope's Barsetshire novels, and has retained its popularity among modern readers. This new edition identifies the novel as a subtle study of the heroism and the cost of constancy, drawing out the intense psychological drama which lies at the heart of the story, and how it reflects Trollope's divided feelings about change in a rapidly evolving world. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The least favourite of the Trollope novels I've read so far. Normally I love his books, but this one... Not even Plantagenet Palliser's first appearance could rescue it.

Synopsys: Drama queens and incompetent men. Not much happens.

Verdict: Give it a miss. Does not add much either to the Barchester or the Palliser cycle.

MayJasper Thanks for the tip 7y

4/5 ⭐️'s
This month, for an IG buddy read, we read the second to last book in the Barsetshire Chronicles. Now that I've completed my 5th book written by Anthony Trollope, I feel like he & I are quite good chums. And I've come to the conclusion that Trollope now ranks as one of my favorite classic authors. His wit, asides to the reader, and storylines, are just a delight. #thesmallhouseatallington #anthonytrollope #classics #trollope #booksy
