Description

In "Cousin Henry" by Anthony Trollope, the inheritance of a family estate throws moral integrity and personal gain into sharp conflict. When the Indefer Jones estate narrowly escapes the expected heir, Isabel Brodrick, it falls instead to Henry, an unloved relative. As Henry wrestles with a guilty conscience over a hidden will that could change everything, the tension escalates. Trollope crafts a psychological drama around the themes of honesty, greed, and the quest for redemption in this captivating exploration of human character.

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.
