The Last Chronicle of Barset
Anthony Trollope
Book Overview:
Both Trollope and some of his later critics have considered The Last Chronicle to be his greatest novel. Many of its characters are familiar from the earlier Barsetshire novels, including the Rev. Josiah Crawley, the impoverished curate of Hogglestock, whose alleged theft of £20, together with the efforts of many to clear up the mystery, lie here at the center. Central also is the trying courtship between Major Grantly and Grace Crawley, the clergyman's daughter, over the objections of the Major's parents, Archeacon Grantly and his wife; and the adventures of Johnny Eames, a protagonist of the Small House at Allington. Finally, it is in The Last Chronicle that Bishop Proudie of Barsetshire and his domineering wife, introduced in Barchester Towers, achieve their fullest and most dramatic portrayal.

Done! The book and the entire Chronicles of Barsetshire. What can I say. Not a book for every reader and yet if you like Dickens, then Trollope is an easier read. But, my oh my are these guys wordy!! Close to 900 pages and could easily have been 300 pages left as Trollope loves to get sidetracked an
I really love Anthony Trollope and I can forgive him almost anything except having to read about Lily Dale & Adolphous Crosbie again! :(
Otherwise I love this book, even though Barchester Towers still remains my favourite book from the Barset series.
A fitting ending to the series! We get all the threads from prior books gathered back up together & it's nice to see so many characters we know have their stories resolved (some happily, some less so). I'd say for the series as a whole, I preferred the first three books over the last three, but it's
