You can discover my favourites and those I’d happily never read again.


UPDATE: Revisiting this post 14 years later, I realise I didn’t write up four of the novels. This is probably for the good reason that I needed to get on with my thesis (which wasn’t about Trollope) 🧐 I’ll pursue a much more modest challenge in 2025, re-reading and reflecting on Linda Tressel, Kept in the Dark, Orley Farm, and The Three Clerks.
