A review by jersy
Doctor Thorne by Simon Dentith, Anthony Trollope, Julian Fellowes
4.0
Although a little more conventional than the prior books in the barsetshire chronicles, this was lovely, witty and an absolute joy to read.
Trollope is great in the way he designs his characters and developes them throughout the story. How my opinion if Frank and tge love story has changed as the book went on is probably my favorite thing about it.
I would have liked there to be a stronger link to the previous novels, but it never really bothered me and I soon stopped to compare it to Barchester Tower and The Warden, which are more about politics and less about love than this one.
While the ending was a little more convenient than I would have expected from Trollope, the plot was engaging and included everything I like about victorian literature.
