Description Conducive To Books Complete Barchester Chronicles
Have read this entire series twice now. Once from 2000-2002 and again in 2018. I loved it both times but think I appreciated it even more this second time. Trollope is a master novelist. I am on now to his Palliser Chronicles. There is a natural story progression, although the setting is different. As for characters, Plantagenet Palliser, the main focus of the Palliser Chronicles, was already introduced as a minor character in the Barchester Chronicles and the Duke of Omnium from the BC will continue into the PC. There are a few others as well, but mostly the stories are about altogether new people. When you leave Barsetshire here, you say farewell to most of your friends for good... Unless you return!Rating Appertaining To Books Complete Barchester Chronicles

I read all six of these novels over the past few months, the first 3 while travelling in Italy and France. Im not going to review them individually, as they make a more-or-less coherent whole and their similarities are numerous. Overall I quite enjoyed them, although there were places where the overlapping tales got a little too similar. The wry look at the social lives of rural ecclesiastics in mid 19th century England is mostly amusing, but Trollope is capable of deeper insight as well. I wasLong, leisurely readA long, slow read sometimes but so much interest and fun in it. Trollope is wonderful at painting portraits of people to show their best sides but their "realness" at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
My absolute favorite series of books ever. The Warden is a little slow to start, but once you're in, you're in for good. Bucolic, ecclesiastical, gloves and fans, what else could one want.
A beautiful book that reads easily and leaves you with a feeling of quiet content. Admittedly the way the characters behave in the book is from a life long past us where decorum status and money affected people's lives in a way very different from today.
Absolutely incredible!!!
I will NOT be reviewing the Kindle edition--but they didn't give an option in actual paper. When I finish the series, I hope to write a complete review detailing the series and why they are important to today's reader.
