Very enjoyable story that deals with court trials, life-long strivings, family confusions, and aristocracy. The reader is fabulous, the story itself engaging and thought-provoking, and is quite unique from a literary perspective. More than anything, I was impressed with how real the characters are. Each person has a different perspective, and while you may not agree with their perspective, you can at least understand and respect it.

Enjoyable romance.

I enjoyed this; it is more focused than your typical Trollope novel and the characters are rounded and interesting. 'Lady' Anna is faced with the possibility of dramatic upward mobility and struggles to choose between her first love and a charming, high-born new suitor. Nicely read.

Excellent Novel , so far. Concede i am only just past chapter 36 and started listening to chapter 37. Countess Lovell (nee Murray) often in the second part of the book that should would kill her daughter , Lady Anna . And in chapter 36 in front of witness, engaged to Lady, her mother Countess Lovell said she would strike her daughter. Why didn't Daniel Thaite go to the police and report the threat to the young woman she loved and she loved him and file threat to do physical harm or worse charges against Countess Lovel ? chapter 7 . after Anna tells Lord Lovel she will not marry him but only mr. thait, and then Anna's mother said it be better her daughter died, if Lord Lovell was so noble why did he not haul Countess Lovel off to St. Bethlehem (bedlam) for the dangerous insane ? update March 10 2019 . sad, oh well many things are worse , but true , just started listening to this audiobook and don't even remember listened to prior to chapter 37 at very least . lol, by the way - Trollope died circa 1890 . When did the English , or the British on the whole(sans the Irish I would suppose) , stop besmirching and belittling the Italians "out of hand" ? I guess it started with King Henry VIII and a bit later with Guy Fawkes , albeit a British Spaniard but firmly a catholic , but does this Italians are either dancers and actors and thats about all they are good for, or are rot, go on till this day ?!

Avid Listener

There is no reader quite so good as this one for this type of novel. As to the contents of the book, Trollope fallls short of his norm. He usually has several sub-plots which furnish variety; this book has no significant ones. He usually produces a satisfying ending after working through misunderstandings among the protagonists; in this one he did not. His novels always have foolish and headstrong persons who finally come to their senses; Lady Anna did not and is thereby voted as the greatest nincompoop ever to grace (disgrace?) one of his novels. She will naturally reap the whirlwind of her inexplicably stupid decision!

A lengthy character study

This is a long, slow character study. Nothing much really happens, but you get to know the characters intimately through descriptions of their internal thoughts and interactions with other characters. Trollope is masterful at making you understand how his characters feel and think. Not the best introduction to Trollope's work (try the Barsetshire series), but great to listen to if you're not in a hurry. The narrator is excellent; hard to imagine a better reading.

Lady Anna held me spellbound and quite surprised at the appearance of a pistol in the hands of a woman. Mr. Evans surpassed himself with his smooth delivery and his creation of unique voices. I thank him for hours of enjoyment and the ability to hear the words of long gone authors whose gifts are unmatched in modern fiction. Trollope’s solution to Anna’s plight was satisfying and just.
