Trollope has such a way with words I think he must have come out of the womb speaking eloquence and wit. I cried, I laughed, I chuckled...I stayed up past my bedtime in such an anxious state to know how the battle between Mrs Proudie and Mr Slope would end. Every character is written so convincingly and they interact as if on a stage. What more could one wish for?
