Can You Forgive Her? - Anthony Trollope

Having completed the bucolic Barsetshire Chronicles I now move on to the political Palliser series. The central plot strand involves a young woman vacillating between two lovers, one wild and charismatic and the other staid but responsible. It drags on somewhat, but there is a boring comfortableness about it and the subplot involving the Palliser family is engaging, which bodes well for the upcoming books.
