Customer Reviews

An excellent biography of an interesting woman

Frances Trollope, mother of the far more famous Anthony Trollope, was a prolific, talented writer herself. Neville-Sington, in this excellent biography, makes Frances or Fanny come alive again. She makes a strong case that much of what we think of as invented by the son actually originated with the mother: the interconnected Barchester and Palister novels had their parallel in three novels by Frances Trollope. Well worthwhile. Well worthwhile.
