It was not among my favorites of the series but, like every Trollope I've read, still very enjoyable. Hope to dip into the autobiography this weekend, but am beginning to crave more of his fiction.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-34792617261225620012016-05-10T18:03:46.548-04:002016-05-10T18:03:46.548-04:00Judith - Thanks for reminding me to add it to my C...Judith - Thanks for reminding me to add it to my Classics Club list.
