It mostly consists of a nice old clergyman stuck in a moral dilemma.<br /><br />I cannot think that Sujin would enjoy any, unless she's into mid-Victorian literature now. If so, Dickens and Great Expectations might be more up her alley.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-21767737870515093882015-05-03T23:38:37.086-07:002015-05-03T23:38:37.086-07:00OK, I've never read Trollope, would you like t...OK, I've never read Trollope, would you like to recommend a short one for me?

I am reading slowly (very slowly) through Framley Parsonage and even though I'm enjoying it, I don't think I'll finish by the end of the month. It's so good to know that there are so many other great Trollope's that I haven't read yet!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-88544161826106710802015-04-25T04:54:08.084-07:002015-04-25T04:54:08.084-07:00It's good to know there are Trollopes out ther...It's good to know there are Trollopes out there that don't require a heavy time commitment (though I sped through Doctor Thorne, I must say). I just re-read Jane Eyre and it would be interesting to see the contrasting treatment of an (unintentional) bigamist.Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.com
