The fluid prose and vivid descriptions reflect a world where status is paramount, making it an essential read for those interested in the Victorian literary context and its exploration of class relations.

Trollope'Äôs adept storytelling and profound understanding of human motivation offer a compelling insight into the complexities of life in the Victorian era.
