Just two days ago, the final book club meeting of the Trollope Society was held to discuss Mr. Scarborough's Family. And so now we turn to the next novel on this year's reading list: The Belton Estate. This book was first published in 1865. Just as a violent civil war was coming to a close in the USA, Anthony Trollope wrote this book about a young woman choosing between two suitors. Thorny issues of inheritance and measuring the qualities of two imperfect men are themes in this short novel by the prolific author. I look forward to the book as the summer reading season begins.
