pickLoved being back in Trollope's world. Time slows down & you're fully immersed in a Victorian world of inheritance, property, desire, money, & marriage with Trollope frequently breaking the fourth wall. His verbosity is part of his style, which I enjoy. I thought Frank's "flirtation" with Miss Dunstable very un-Victorian & modern, & Miss Dunstable herself a truly memorable character. Plan to watch the 2016 series! #Trollopeing #BandofTrollopes
zezeki So glad you liked it! I'm about half way through, and I also really liked Miss Dunstable's character! I'm really curious to see how everything will resolve! 1y
zezeki Also, this cover is gorgeous! 😍 1y
batsy @zezeki The Vintage editions are nice ❤️ Unfortunately I didn't order the whole series before Book Depository closed and it's hard finding Trollope elsewhere! I thought the book resolved very satisfactorily. I hope you enjoy it till the end 🙂 1y

batsy @Ruthiella Yes, she was so unexpected and refreshing! And dare I say feminist, for that particular time. 1y

JenDR I love Trollope‘s Pallisers series. I have this one on my TBR pile for the next time I am in the mood to visit Trollope‘s universe. 1y
CarolynM Lovely review. Glad you enjoyed. I was loving it, but dropped it when life went sideways. Hoping to get back to it soon🙂 1y

Rissreads That cover is divine! 💛 1y
Rissreads Is this a stand alone novel or part of a series? 1y
batsy @Rissreads It's part of the Barchester Chronicles, but it works as a standalone. The books aren't sequels, it's just that there's characters from previous books popping up here and there 🙂 1y
CarolynM Thanks Suba, things have settled down but there‘s a lot to do in the next few months. 1y
