A review by reggikko
Dr. Thorne by Anthony Trollope
4.0
I didn’t quite enjoy this as much as Barchester Towers, but Trollope won me over by the end.
“Frank must marry money!” I couldn’t help but be put in mind of Austen. Trollope’s themes in regard to birth, family, social rank, and, of course, money echo hers. If I have any complaint, it is that the story is much drawn out due to the serialization of Victorian novels. Austen handles those themes with an admirable economy and I tended to get impatient at times with Trollope’s perhaps unnecessarily long narrative. Overall, though, it’s jolly good fun.
