Trollope also wrote lots of stand alone titles. I especially liked The Way We Live Now (but it's very long!) or Miss Mackenzie.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-4784341436603594212014-07-16T03:40:18.725+10:002014-07-16T03:40:18.725+10:00Ooh this review makes me want to read this series!...Ooh this review makes me want to read this series! I haven't read any Anthony Trollope but downloaded a couple of ebooks on the recommendation of many people on goodreads. But I've got so many books I've been meaning to read that I just never get to it! Are there any others of his books you would particularly recommend?<br />Great review!<br />Rachel<br /><a href="http://dashinggoodbooks.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Dashing Good Books</a>Rachel Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877244475830606115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-1455353631578273192014-07-12T16:08:22.827+10:002014-07-12T16:08:22.827+10:00Oh yes, I enjoyed it very much.

Maybe a couple of episodes of that would spur you on.When I started watching, I wanted to start reading the series again from the beginning but I decided to just read the last two unread books as everything else came back to me as I watched.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-28537219354600774552014-07-11T12:53:58.841+10:002014-07-11T12:53:58.841+10:00Thanks Harriet.

I have all of them on my to-read shelf (along with about 20 other Trollopes. . . which could be why). I haven't read any Trollope since He Knew He Was Right, which I read in February!!!

Trollope really handles it all so well -- it would be easy to take against the Duke for his inability to understand his children, but you sympathise with him while hoping like mad that he will see the light!harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470091985662379182noreply@blogger.com
