About the Author
As young adult, Trollope endured seven years of poverty in the General Post Office in London before accepting a better-paying position as postal surveyor in Banagher, Ireland in 1841. The years in Ireland formed the basis of his second career delineating clerical life in small cathedral towns.

Format:Paperback
Although seriously under-proof read, and full of literals, this is a fine novel. The book itself is superbly produced with a feel of quality about it-and a most attractive cover. There is a sarcastic thread which runs through the portrayal of all the characters. Involvement in the unfolding biographies of the characters is absolute. The future mother-in-law is a grotesque dragon, full of self regard and superior attitudes but completely unaware that she is anything but a model to emulate. If you like Trollope you will love this book. The usual fault of Trollope is an over complex plot, with numerous superfluous characters being introduced-this work, refreshingly, does not suffer from this, although we have the usual annoying double negatives...'not unadjacent to','not dissimilar to..' Still, we can't have everything! Buy it!Michael Harris/Birmingham.

How can this terribly badly scanned version have been allowed to be published? The errors are initially amusing, then irritating but finally infuriating. Anyone who scans text - especially old-fashioned text - knows that there can be problems. But this takes the biscuit!
Excellent story, of course, but even the author would have been embarrassed by this version of his work.

Another good Trollope read, full of family disputes and will they, won't they love entanglements. However, it all works out in the end. Very enjoyable.
