Not a fanThis is not an Anthony Trollope novel I especially love. I think it's one that I was quite enjoying for quite a lot of it, but I didn't like the ending at all, which is very unusual for me in Anthony Trollope.

Doctor Thorne
Anthony Trollope
1858 · 524 pages · 3 reviews
Others: MixedThe Chronicles of Barsetshire, Book 3: Dr. Thorne Mary Thorne, orphaned (and illegitimate) niece of Dr. Thorne, has long been a favorite at Greshamsbury House--until Lady Arabella Gresham learns that her only son Frank is in love with Mary. The unhappy Mary is banished forthwith, because the Gresham family fortunes are so depleted that Frank must marry money. Frank, however, is one of the few completely honorable young men in Trollope's novels and remains stubbornly true to his love. Well, he does propose to another woman, at the insistence of his mother, but only with the virtual certainty that he will be rejected--as indeed he is. The lady is Miss Dunstable, one of Trollope's most delightful characters, a fabulously wealthy thirtyish heiress of an ointment company. She is a bold, witty woman, not beautiful, but attractive in her way, whose wealth invites countless proposals. After the rather complicated plot unfolds, the tables are completely turned, and Mary is eagerly welcomed by Lady Arabella (who, of course, has always loved her) as the savior of the family.

Lady Anna
Anthony Trollope
1874 · 444 pages · 2 reviews
Others: PositiveA Victorian Gothic novel with the twin themes of bigamy and class difference as the base. A complicated plot, well developed ideas, and very convincing characters on the whole. Two exceptions to Trollope's usually powerful women are Lady Lovel, who is almost demonic, and the Lady Anna herself, who seems very changeable although she is immensely loyal to the working class man to whom she is engaged. Although it is not Trollope's most memorable novel, it remains one of his most engrossing.
