Another of the Barchester series, and for the most part I liked it. It is a story of romance--and not just one romance, but quite a few. There are plots and subplots and everything gets messed up--only to be fixed again.
After a while, I started to get frustrated with the characters--they kept making dumb decisions. How could they be so thoughtless? At one point of the novel, it was one bad decision after the next. I began to lose patience with them. I know they weren't real, but they sure weren't being smart.
Finally, the novel came to an end, and all the good guys were happy and the bad guys were not. I think I may take a break from Trollope for a while. I liked the story, but I want a character that acts a little less impulsively. Sometimes we have to be practical in life.
