The Duke's Children by Anthony Trollope
5.0
I've (re)read both the Barsetshire and Palliser series this last couple of years and felt slightly bereft at the conclusion of each - these are characters you grow to love. As always the politics is just a backdrop to the playful dissection of social mores, class, love, inter-generational relations, etc. etc.
As this final tome unfolded my affection for Planty Pall grew further; his fundamental decency and post-Glencora vulnerability winning out even over his innate snobbery and social conservatism. A worthy end to fabulous series.
