Review:
"The portrayal of the petty frustrations of clerical life is spot on and the novel is elegantly written" (The Sunday Times)

"I would have killed anyone who wrested this novel from my hands... it's compulsive reading" (The Times)

"This is Trollope's finest novel to date. Prepare to be wittily and wisely entertained by an exceptional writer" (Daily Mail)

"The portrayal of the petty frustrations of clerical life is spot on and the novel is elegantly written" (Sunday Telegraph)
Book Description:
