Book Review

The Small House at Allington
by Anthony Trollope

This book, the fifth of the Barsetshire novels, revolves around the romantic entanglements and family relationships of Lily and Bell Dale, young women of modest means who live with their mother in a small house on their uncle's estate. It's a very quiet and unassuming novel, and my least favorite of the Barsetshire sextet so far. There is not a lot of satisfying resolution at the end, and some of the characters become a little annoying as time goes on.
