Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-28 00:00:00 William Timmerman This is dessert, the reward for having read the first five books of Barset. If Tennyson asks to see "the exact spot where Louisa Musgrove fell" in Lyme, then take me to the cathedral in Barset, so I may look at the memorial to Septimus Harding and pay my respects. I forgive Archdeacon Grantly everything for giving Mr. Crawley his father's book of sermons. And Johnny Eames and Lily Dale! Did M.D. ruin their chances? And Mrs. Proudie! Rally, bishop, rally. And the Dickensian Mr. Togood, surely an acquaintance of the Cherrybles. My goal was to read all six during Teddy's first year, but it took a year and a half. And I will miss the wonderful hours I spent in Barset.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-20 00:00:00 David Luck As expected, this was a triumph. I love Anthony Trollope, and I have loved the Barsetshire novels so much, that I almost worried this final book might not meet my expectations, or might tamper with the novels of the previous books in ways I wouldn't like. However, I should have trusted Trollope more - this last book in the series is absolutely superb, with brilliant characterisation, a wonderful plot, and everything as it should be. I won't doubt Trollope again! The series overall is brilliant and this is no exception. What an author.
