Description

In Volume 2, Alice Vavasor’s internal conflict intensifies as her engagement to John Grey faces strain from her lingering feelings for her cousin George. Meanwhile, Lady Glencora’s struggles in her marriage to Plantagenet Palliser reveal the constraints of societal expectations, even as her bond with Burgo Fitzgerald threatens scandal. Trollope delves deeper into themes of love, duty, and forgiveness, exploring the tension between personal desires and moral obligations. With rich character development and sharp social critique, this volume builds suspense, examining whether choices driven by passion or duty can lead to lasting happiness.

Author

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) spent his days as a Post Office surveyor and his early hours at the novel — a clerk's discipline that produced an English county of clergy and a later London of money. Barchester Towers is the church as weather: preferment, gossip, a bishop's wife. The Way We Live Now is the same eye on speculation and the social lie. He wrote without apology for the method. Church, vote, and marriage sit in the same air.
