The Small House at Allington, Volume 1ReadHowYouWant.com, 1929 - Barsetshire (England : Imaginary place) In this lively, intimate portrayal of county society Trollope introduces two of his most endearing heroines, the spirited independent-minded Lily and Bell Dale, who live with their widowed mother. As one sister is betrayed by the ambitious man she adores, while the other must confront her reluctance to let any man near her heart, Trollope weaves together an intricate story of thwarted love, self-deception and social climbing. |
