Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-06 00:00:00 Marilyn Kobulnicky Another great novel by Anthony Trollope! I found it engaging, disturbing, and moving. It is about marriage, family, family reputation, gender, decision-making, actions and consequences, love, and duty. I highly recommend it!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-21 00:00:00 Mathew Dyck This was my first book by Trollope. I was impressed by the writing, and I must say that he does characterisation really well. The characters read like real people, and are definitely flawed, making mistakes throughout. Frank Neville, the protagonist, manages to make two promises which completely opposed each other, but they are two promises that he is bound to keep. The priest encourages a relationship that was never meant to be - just in case it does work out. And people choose to keep some secrets. It left for an interesting read. While the plot is predictable, a forbidden love between two people of different classes, it still leaves the reader wondering how it is all going to work out. However, I can't help but say I was disappointed. While I suppose things worked out as well as they could have, I think I was hoping for something miraculous. Which is my fault - not the book's.
