Five things about The Small House At Allington by Anthony Trollope 4/5⭐️
1. I genuinely enjoyed this. My first just all around pleasant experience with a Trollope.
2. It did feel needlessly long though. I feel like we have cut a good 250 pages and not lost much of anything.
3. I am looking forward to reading The Last Chronicle of Barset in November. I do still think, despite truly enjoying this gentle, comedic, slow narrative that once I’m done with the final book in the series I’ll be personally done exploring Trollope.
4. I’m not sure what exactly made this reading experience different. Maybe it was the autumnal weather or maybe I’m just finally accepting Trollope for who he is as a writer or maybe Allington is truly a different kind of book from the others in the series.
5. Regardless, I give this four stars very willingly - 5 if it has just been a tad shorter and tighter with the plot.
