Live every day like the “Impudent hussy! Forward, ill-conditioned, saucy minx!” that Lady Arabella believes you to be (Help, I think I'm a Trollope fan).

Read while participating in Trollope Society's Big Read of Doctor Thorne on Facebook. Trollope is a great observer of human nature and the author delivers in the story what he promises in the first chapter.

Well.... This book was a mixed bag.
On one hand, how many times can you hear the same thing and watch the same characters perform the same schtiks. If only the book was only half as long. If only there were the spicy characters of Barchester Towers...
But, the social criticism is extra-snappy in this book, and some of the characters are admirable dears, and all characters are realistic and deep.
Also, "Dr. filgrave" is an excellent name. In general, Trollope's naming is one of his book's redeeming qualities.
