Anthony Trollope 
Miss Mackenzie [EPUB ebook] 

’Miss Mackenzie’ (1864), Anthony Trollope´s masterpiece and a neglected gem of a novel, was the runner-up in Radio 4’s ‘Neglected Classics’ vote. 
Miss Mackenzie is a single woman in her mid-thirties who receives a large inheritance when her brother dies. She must then deal with what comes with the fortune, including several suitors, who may, or, may not, simply be after her money.
Although her creator calls her 'unattractive, ’ most readers will warm to Miss Mackenzie and admire her modesty, dignity, and shrewdness.
