The Vicar of Bullhampton
Anthony Trollope
Book Overview:
This little-known but engrossing Trollope novel centers on a feisty small-town clergyman, his cantankerous neighbor, the miller, and the women in both their lives. A murder, a trial, a feud, a fallen woman, and a complicated romance are woven together in an exploration of the limits of our ability to truly do right when we involve ourselves in the lives of others, even with the best intentions.

But Mr. Fenwick, having taken so much trouble to get at the young man, was not going to be put off in this way. "Never mind your muck for a quarter of an hour," he said. "I have come here on purpose to find you, and I must speak to you."
"Must!" said Sam, looking down with a very angry lower on his face.
"Yes,—must. Don't be a fool now. You know that I do not wish to injure you. You are not such a coward as to be afraid to speak to me. Come down."
"Afeard! Who talks of being afeard? Stop a moment, Mr. Fenwick, and I'll be with you;—not that I think it will do any good." Then slowly he crept back along the beam and came down through the interior of the building. "What is it, Mr. Fenwick? Here I am. I ain't a bit afeard of you at any rate."

The first story is a Vi
This is one of my favourite Trollope novels (I've read them all!) because the central character of the stubborn and likeable vicar, Frank Fenwick, is so vividly alive - his relationship with his wife is also a refreshing example of a happy marriage in literature where there's nothing cloying or over
Without a doubt, the best standalone Trollope I’ve read. There are many threads to this story, and I loved them all. There are so many great characters, lots of interesting issues explored. I hope to write a longer review soon.
What a book. A wonderful Anthony Trollope novel – charming, clever, powerful and just fantastic.
