Anthony Trollope is such a good writer. I found it difficult to put this book down once the story got going. The firsy two chapters of description were a little dull but then Trollope apologises to his readers for this and goes on to explain that he could not think of any other way of doing it.
Although this is book 3 in the Barsetshire series, I would describe it as a stand alone book.

Why did it take me so long to discover Trollope? Granted, the guy is not a quick read. But I love the humor, the characterization, the insight into human motives. No one is totally evil, no one is totally good - just like real life!
I did find this one a bit heavy and the whole concept of marrying beneath oneself is a bit dated, but the characters were so well-drawn you got drawn into it anyway.
On to Framley Parsonage!
