Summary
Meanwhile, Mark's sister, Lucy, is deeply in love with Lord Lufton, the son of the lofty Lady Lufton. Lord Lufton has proposed, but Lady Lufton is against the marriage, preferring that her son choose the coldly beautiful Griselda Grantly.
The novel concludes with four happy marriages, including one involving Doctor Thorne, the hero of the preceding book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series.

80% great read by Simon Vance is still 100% by me
Simon Vance is great as always, but some female voices almost slipped into caricature, and Mrs Crawley was almost portrayed as someone of limited intelligence and understanding - despite her being one of the most poignant and complex characters in the book.
Nonetheless - Simon Vance still reads this brilliant book, brilliantly overall.
The light and humour that Trollope cast on his characters' very human stories 160 years ago, are still as spot on and gripping as anything you could find in the headlines today.
So it's great that Audible now offer this book free to members.

Dreadful characterisations of Trollope's people
Throughout the series Simon Vance has taken all his characterisations from 1950's British films. Here he also gives one minor character a Scottish accent in an early chapter, to speak a dialect no Scot ever spoke. By the end she has a more realistic Mummerset instead. Mark Robards is too old, and Mrs Crawley, a gentlewoman living a hard and poverty-stricken life, is given a working class accent thus distorting her completely. Oh dear.
