Framley Parsonage - Anthony Trollope

The fourth of the Barchester Chronicles is well up to scratch, a typically Trollopian tale of star-cross’d lovers, flawed heroes and gently pointed social satire. We know that the ending will be broadly happy so the pleasure is in the getting there. I was particularly pleased that the slyly entertaining Miss Dunstable reappears in this book, and even gets a surprise happy ending of her own.
