Customer Reviews

A very balanced portrait of Victorian views on religion

The matriarch of the Trollope family, Frances Trollope, wrote dozens of novels which are now unfortunately out of print. In this wonderful and fortunately in-print novel Fanny Trollope creates the world of Wrexhill, an idyllic English village full of a cast of strong-willed English characters. The novel deals with religious fanatacism, portrays atheism, and is overall a very balanced treatment of the subject of religion at the time. There is humour, a bit of melodrama, and suspense. It was a joy to read and I look forward to reading more Fanny Trollope titles in the future.
