This is a good story but perhaps lessened by its length. At 19 hours it's long in the telling but enjoyable enough thanks to the excellent narration.

Superb!

Great story, characterization and reader! Trollope is amazing! Another Dickens! As is usual, starts out slow but then it picks up speed .... Don't miss it!

Great Reader.

Mr Troloppe writes an interesting if not a somewhat long-winded story. Because the reader is so good it is pleasant to hear.

a lovely reading and a great yarn - just complicated enough and with plenty of twists and turns.

Not the Lightest Trollope

(3 stars)

Well read, as always, by Mr Minter. Thank you!Trollope writes gracefully at an ambling gait but may seem ponderous and repetitious to the uninitiated, particularly when as here many of the characters are older, methodical men of business. The scenes in Australia are fascinating. The young heroine is enchanting. Her mother is a savagely drawn Puritan. For your first Trollope I recommend The Card, a lighthearted tale also read by Andy Minter and made into a delightful old movie with Alec Guinness.

VINTAGE TROLLOPE

(5 stars)

AVID READER

A frightening look at a system of law which has no form of appeal. The novel was good and excellently read by Simon Events. An observation: surely Mrs. Barton was sister or other close kin to Mrs. Bishop Proudie of the Chronicles of Barset. And, Mr. Smirkey served aptly as the "toadie" cleric.

Most enjoyable and worthy of its length.

(5 stars)

Exceptional reader ! I have never really been drawn to Trollope but I'm so glad I chose to this time & is in part because of the narrator, he had me hooked on first chapter. That said the book is equally entitled to the 5 stars.

Great reader, 2nd rate Trollope

Trollope is always entertaining, but this one is a little overlong and repetitive in places. Still, the story is a good one, and worth a listen. The reader is great. I will be looking for more of Simon Evers's performances!!!
