lotusmeristem555 's review for:
Barchester Towers
by Anthony Trollope
Such an interesting read. For an Israeli in the 21st century, the subject of this book is as far removed from me as science fiction. Other than the stories of humans and human emotions.
And Trollope is very good at this - the human condition, well-rounded characters, small but fascinating stories. You can't help but become enraptured by the stories he tell and the people in it
Also, Bertie Stanhope and the Signora were such fascinating and completely modern characters, it was a delight to read them.
This book lost a star for me in the review because I don't care how people thought in the 19th century, reading "dirty jew" is not nice.
