A review by deanneestelle
Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope
5.0
4.5 stars (I round up). This book was lovely. It had an interesting story of church and small town politics, which I greatly enjoyed. The characters were charming and their antics were alternately heartwarming, frustrating, and hilarious to read about. The romance was incredibly sweet. I just really loved this book.
(As a sidenote: it also made me love "The Warden" more than I originally did. When I first read that book, my impression was that it was enjoyable, but a bit boring. Now, I understand how necessary it was to set up "Barchester Towers." It was almost more of a character study of Mr. Harding than it was an independent story, and I really appreciate its existence, because without it I wouldn't adore Mr. Harding in the way that I do now).
