Review:
Trollope is that rare thing: a strong writer with a trustworthy imagination . . . Yet, beyond saying that his writing feels like life, it s hard to say just how he works his magic . . . Trollope, quite uncynically, understands both what s necessary to make the world go round and which way the world ought to be made to turn . . . Politics and gossip are still the essential life of the world . . . and any writer who can turn them into art will survive. Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker

The Duke s Children is a novel about sorrow and loss, and about a parent s pained discovery that our children inevitably grow to love us less than we love them . . . The new version will most likely not change anyone s view of The Duke s Children, and yet all those tiny excisions do add up.The restored version is a fuller, richer book. Charles McGrath, The New York Times Book Review
Trollope has brought much pleasure. He can still make us laugh and many of his characters . . . still live, perhaps rivalled only among nineteenth-century novelists by some creations of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens . . . Trollope denied that he had any mysterious genius, calling his achievement comfortable but not splendid. This modesty, one feels, was genuine. It was also misplaced. The Duke s Children shows an ability to go deep enough to see the anxiety and pain that can accompany death and change. from the Introduction by Max Egremont"
