Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-16 00:00:00 Gabriel Gaona A very strong and interesting Trollope novel - he is at his best writing about marriage, and the characters are so fully formed here. The ending did drag a little, but I'd still highly recommend.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-31 00:00:00 Feroz Vilsing Popenjoy shares several of the same themes Trollope covered in "He Knew He was Right" but in a much lighter way, thanks goodness, which makes for much more enjoyment. It's the story of a young couple at the beginning of heir marriage. They have their share of rough edges to file down one to the other. Lord George, as a second son, is not on the best terms with the Marquis who his himself is none of too easy to get onwith with foreign wife and its mysterious circumstances. A delightful character, the Dean of the local parish, is Lady Mary's devoted father who is liberal with his money but expects to get full value for his largese. Of course Mary loves and respects her father but to the same or maybe higher degree she feels for her husband? I know these situations are serious but Trollope skates around them with his traditional humor so the angst level is comfortable to the reader.
