I too enjoy Anthony Trollope and recently read "He knew he was right." His books are certainly worth re -reading periodically. There is a biograhy of him by Victoria Glendinning which is good for getting some knowledge of the man.
Two other books I like to re -read "Are Memoirs of a Highland Lady" by Elizabeth Grant of Rotthimurchus which is about her childhood and youth in Scotland around the turn of the 19th Century. Also "The Diary of a country parson- 1758-1802." I find it fascinating learnining about their every day lives.
At the moment I am reading my way through C.J. Sansoms series about Mathew Shardlake a lawyer who solves murders set in the times of Henry 8th. They are enjoyable and seem to be fairly accurate with the historical back ground but I think I am reading too many one after another!!
I loved Miss Read as a teenager and must look for them again.
