Everything but the main plot line is good. Otherwise the mystery solution is not satisfying.

With tears, we leave a place Trollope has for us, as he says he has for himself, made real. Timothy West’s narration is lovely. The portrait of the Bishop is especially real.

Complex. I wish I had a series character map, especially since married women get new names and residences. A novel of ambition and coming of manhood.

I was worried when the story has a sick boy and the author loves Dombey. But that would have been a twist too far. The mystery was well worked out and I got hooked. Just one flaw: whist is not a two person game.

It was odd to reread a book that I first read as a small boy almost 70 years. No wonder I loved this author.

This is unlistenable. The language is almost indecipherable sometimes. I gave up. I meant to buy a newer book with the same title

The best of the series so far. Complex characters and plots written from many points of view. The narrator does a great job.

I have begun reading Trollope late in life after a devotion to Dickens, Collins, and Austen. Once a professor came to give a talk at the Dickens Universe about Trollope and the Universe organizers learned that he was going to ask the audience for a show of hands of those who had read all 46 of Trollope’s novels. When he did ask, the forewarned audience all raised their hands. Now I have only 40 to go. Every chapter had so many lines I wanted to remember.

The writing is execrable. It is 99% exposition. The dialog is all exposition. No character development. No real plot, no action, no tension. No real voice or emotion except the narrative voice. It is not the fault of the narrator, it is the fault of the editor / publisher.

At its heart a mystery, this novel has engaging characters, a shifting timeline and point of view that keeps you engaged. But the words, the words, almost every few sentences you feel you should stop to copy them to keep. A profound statement against racism, that would get anyone trying to teach it pilloried and fired by the pseudo-intellectual woke mob. The book well earns its place in the top 100 modern novels.
