This book's French-themed plot centers on the romance between an innkeeper's son and his essentially adopted niece. The characters are a little lower class than customary for Trollope, and the foreign environment is intriguing, which makes the tale entertaining. It has a lovely, ideal, joyful conclusion. In this book, Trollope focuses his keen eye on the lives of French and French-speaking Swiss tradespeople in a region of France that borders Switzerland rather than on English high society. Unsurprisingly, the plot revolves around a love story, which gives Trollope the opportunity to examine French customs and beliefs regarding marriage and dowries. This book explores the foolishness of those who presume to understand the thoughts of others. When Trollope's fame was at its height, he wrote The Golden Lion of Granpere. This brief but enjoyable book is about Marie Bromar, who after the passing of her mother moves in with the Voss family at the Lion d'Or hotel. It is set in a town in the Vosges mountains in northeastern France. She falls in love with George Voss over a period of years, but George's father Michel bans them from getting married.
