Description

"Castle Richmond" by Anthony Trollope transports readers to the tumultuous period of the Irish Famine. The novel centers around the affluent Desmond family and their estate, Castle Richmond. Amidst a national crisis, personal calamities unfold as family secrets and a potential illegitimacy threaten the inheritance and social standings of the Desmonds. As the characters grapple with their consciences and consequences, Trollope weaves a poignant tale of love, honor, and survival, set against the backdrop of one of Ireland's darkest times.

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.
