A review by girlwithherheadinabook
Dr. Thorne by Anthony Trollope, Ruth Rendell

4.0

I have never read a Trollope before, of either the Anthony or Joanna variety - I am only just about old enough to remember how much people laughed at John Major when he said he liked to go to bed with a Trollope but until now that was not something I had ever done. So a new experience. One of his better known creations are the Barchester novels and around a decade and a half ago I heard a bit of Dr Thorne on the radio so though it is number 3 in the sequence, this was the one I was actually interested in reading. Also - the earlier ones seemed suspiciously like church politics which let's face it there's enough of right now in real life. I absolutely loved this novel though ... for my full review:
