Today is the final online book club meeting of the Trollope Society to discuss my current Trollope novel, Dr. Wortle's School. It's been a fast read, and an interesting book. One of the first Trollope books I've read that is set partly in the USA. In fact, there is a suspenseful scene in my hometown of Chicago. But with this meeting, we now turn attention to the book on the list, The Claverings. This novel by Anthony Trollope was written in 1864 band published as a serial before being released as a complete novel. It is the story of a man caught in a love triangle between two women. I look forward to the story with some misgivings, however. As is my practice, I bought a used copy of the book on ABE, and neglected to closely read the description. What arrived was an Oxford University Press edition that might be called a pocket edition. It is a very small, hardcover book, with very small type. I hope my aging eyes will be able to cope.
