The Warden by Anthony Trollope

3.0

The Warden, Mr. Harding, is a kind and virtuous soul. Is he entitled to his 800 pound a year job? Can he withstand the mudslinging press attacks upon his character? Why did his future son-in-law start this whole mess to begin with? This initially felt like a soothing escape from life in 2020, grew kind of boring in the middle, then rebounded towards the end. I like Trollope’s style, and I’m glad I tried him. (I read this for my Classics Club list.) But I don’t feel compelled to read further more of the Barsetshire Chronicles.
