The Warden - Anthony Trollope

I read a blog post from the Grauniad a wee while back about novel sequences and it got me interested. I reckon I'll try a few, and Trollope's Barchester books come up first.

The Warden is an interesting, low-key work about local politics as they apply to an idealistic individual who doesnt accommodate local propriety. There are strong parallels with Henry James' Washington Square, in that it deals with the marital prospects of a middle class daughter under the influence of her father, and also in that they're well worth reading.
