Anthony Trollope
(4,471 Sterne; 69 Bewertungen)
Anthony Trollope’s fortieth novel, published in 1881, concerns a respectable Christian boys’ school whose proprietor unknowingly hires a woman who apparently has two husbands: a devoted English scholar and an abusive drunkard from the American South. The book interweaves a sensitive and realistic exploration of Dr. Wortle’s moral dilemma with a humorous look at small-town gossip and--of course--a romance involving the doctor’s beautiful young daughter. ( Summary by Angela Rowland ) (6 hr 8 min)

Trollope Triumphs Again

Excellent reading! Typically wonderful Trollope. The novel is somewhat shorter than others from Trollope’s pen, but the characters and their interactions are well-developed Definitely worth a listen for those with a taste for Victorian Lit.
Great little sample of Trollope!

I loved this book; it’s like a condensed version of what Trollope can do with his longer novels. The narrator was excellent.

probably a nice story but it is read very fast. How much better it would have been to slow down and let one digest the story.
Well read!
