"I consider the story as a whole to he good, though I am not aware that the public ever corroborated that verdict." - the author
The Claverings is the best wrought of the novels designed for The Cornhill, and as surely conceived as any book he ever wrote." - Sadleir.
"It is a novel of atmosphere, and the atmosphere is of that sort very dangerous for the English novelist, the atmosphere captured so supremely well by Thackeray the green-lighted, close-scented gambling rooms, the shabby adventures of half-deserted spas, the shelving beaches of foreign watering-places, concealed accents, stolen passports, impoverished counts and impertinent ladies' maids.... Trollope's most serious attempt to escape from his own personality." - Walpole (19 hr 56 min)

Very Enjoyable Tale


(5 stars)

The character development is so good that one can picture each individual. The price one pays for past mistakes can certainly be more than expected. Society judges harshly but perhaps not as harshly as ourselves. Good story and all the narrator’s were excellent! There are many of LibriVox’s best voices here. Thank you LibriVox and thank you narrators!

Another Trollope Success


(4 stars)

Well written plots and sub plots. Most enjoyable. I very much appreciate the volunteer readers. There are several slight opportunities for achieving greater success as related to cadence and mispronunciations. These are mentioned only to be as stepping stones for those brave souls who share their voices with us.

Great Readers


(5 stars)

This is a collaborative project on Librivox, and every reader does a fantastic job. Trollope is so good at developing his characters, and I can't understand why he is not more celebrated. Many of his books are on Librivox, and almost all of them are very well done.

A good story


(4 stars)

The Claverings is not my favourite of Trollope's novels, nevertheless it is a good, engaging story involving wealth, titled people, poor suitors and lovely heroines. On the whole, the readers were superb. Thank you to the volunteers.

TYPICAL TROLLOPE FEEL GOOD TALE


(5 stars)

Someone once said that it is better to be lucky than good. Harry was very fortunate (thanks to a storm), but he is an utter fool!

Story style


(3 stars)

Loved the writing style. Just like someone who was telling a story to you in person rather than on paper.


(5 stars)

Great story, and not one bad reader. There is one, though, who's S's are sometimes painfully sharp & loud.


(4.5 stars)

Working my way through the 'Trollopes' and have really enjoyed them all. This is no exception. Thank you Librivox.
