A review by seano
Dr. Thorne by Anthony Trollope, Ruth Rendell

3.0

Poor Frank Gresham MUST MARRY MONEY! The Squire of Greshamsbury is embarrassed (financially) and it is up to young Frank to save the family estate.

But Frank is in love with the very sweet, kind, and dear Mary Thorne. And Mary is the poor niece of a poor country doctor. And although everyone loves Mary, Frank MUST MARRY MONEY!

How we get from this state, the the "happily ever after" state is plot of this third book in Trollope's Barsetshire Series.

It's a good book, but it could easily have been a LOT shorter. Trollope is an excellent writer, but this is the first time in one of his books that I ever wished he wrapped it up.
