A review by kanissa
Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope
4.0
I have a thing for 19th century novels, I guess.
It's a bit jarring when the narrator breaks the third wall, but I've always chalked that up to Trollope's style. A few of the theological points go way over my head, as I am not a 250 year old Anglican, but there's nothing so important that it ruins the story.
I do like that none of the characters are ever perfect. Even the antagonists are likable. The plot moves slowly at times, but as always, everything turns up roses and the heroes come out on top.
