Marion Fay
Anthony Trollope
Book Overview:
Marion Fay offers a pair of romances, each involving a match between one titled personage and one commoner. The misalliances lead to the typical strains between parental desires and romantic wishes of the young. The novel’s primary characters have such noble dispositions that Trollope was impelled to create several far more interesting minor characters who either threaten mayhem or provide amusing diversions.

I hold that nothing is so likely to be permanently prejudicial to the interest of hunting in the British Isles as a certain flavour of tip-top fashion which has gradually enveloped it. There is a pretence of grandeur about that and, alas, about other sports also, which is, to my thinking, destructive of all sport itself. Men will not shoot unless game is made to appear before them in clouds. They will not fish unless the rivers be exquisite. To row is nothing unless you can be known as a national hero. Cricket requires appendages which are troublesome and costly, and by which the minds of economical fathers are astounded. To play a game of hockey in accordance with the times you must have a specially trained pony and a gaudy dress. Racquets have given place to tennis because tennis is costly. In a. . . Read More

(Fortunately, there are many still waiting for me to read, and as a rule their quality is high) Now I have just finis
The book description attached to this edition is about as perfect a description of this novel as could be written. It does indeed involve two love affairs - romance would be a better term - each between a noble and a commoner and treats the subject with as much humor as one can expect from Trollope.

Marion Fay is a two-star Trollope. (which is still good.)
Not his best. But still so much better than most of the crap out there!
I cried until my nose was stuffy and I could hardly breathe. It reminded me of those earlier crying days when I was reading about Little Nell and little David Copperfield and Peggotty in the Dickens novels! A tear-jerker for sure.
I also enjoyed the fox-hunting adventures. (It doesn't bother me when
I love most of the Trollope I have read, in varying degrees. I took this particular book with me on holiday because it was long and I thought it would last me through at least one trans-Atlantic crossing, which it did.
One of the things I frequently enjoy in Trollope is when he sets up a scenario th
Have begun reading this novel again with the online Trollope spin-off, otherlit, in May 2016.
