Any Trollope fans? (Anthony, not Joanna)

I hated them at school and haven't looked at any since.

Perhaps I should re-visit!

Very much so!
Loved the Barsetshire Chronicles and the Palliser novels.
DH’s Anglo-Irish background and family Palliser name might have influenced my initial choice, but a great read!
Much prefer Trollope to Dickens too.

I'm just re reading some of the Palliser series - pennies or 0p on the Kindle - have recently gone through The Eustace Diamonds - you have to love the scheming little Lizzie Eustace - plus Phineas Redux, with a murder thrown in - and now enjoying The Prime Minister. I will admit I do skim over some of the political and hunting scenes bits, though there is plenty of non-political drama in The PM.

Also love the Barchester Chronicles and The Way We Live Now - a cracking read, and IMO his very best. When I first read it, ages ago, it bore striking resemblances to the Maxwell scandal, almost as if AT had foreseen it.

IIRC I downloaded AT's complete works - 50 odd novels - for something like £2.59.
