Many of Trollope’s legion of fans rate this 1866 novel as a favorite. Clara Amedroz must choose between two very different suitors: a man with no breeding who adores her, and a wealthy and refined member of Parliament whose feelings are decidedly cooler. Witty dialogue and vivid descriptions make for a story in which readers will get lost.
关于作者
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a quintessential Victorian novelist best known for his series of novels, the Chronicles of Barsetshire, set in the imaginary county of Barsetshire. Tirelessly prolific, he tackled a rich assortment of the political, social, and gender issues of the day. As career employee of the British Postal System, he is credited with introducing the “pillar-box” mailboxes on street corners.
