The Warden by Anthony Trollope

4.0

I thought this book was very interesting to read in its insight into its period and the issues (the Church’s corruption) that it touched on. It was very nuanced and there was no villain which I liked. The Warden especially is very sympathetic as he is caught in a situation where he doesn’t know if he is in the right. It was sympathetic and recognises that morality isn’t always clear and how it can be hard to know what the right thing to do is. That being said I was not engrossed by this book, but it’s quite short so I don’t think that should be a reason to avoid what is a good story.
