A review by amlibera
Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope

4.0

I heartily enjoy Trollope - I think more the Barchester novels than the Palliser. Mostly I love meeting Trollope's women - Mrs. Proudie, Eleanor Bold, the Signora - he can't help himself but to write more three dimensional characters than he is even aware that he is writing. He judges them by his age but he writes them in such a way that we in the modern era know them well enough to understand them. Also, I love a slimy villain like Slope and a sensible hero like Arabin and well, I'm happy to read the next one as well.
