The Two Heroines of Plumplington
Anthony Trollope
Book Overview:
In the small English Town of Plumplington the daughter of a brewer and that of a banker each has selected her future husband contrary to the wishes of her father. Both young men are regarded as not 'good enough', though each is, in fact, much like the respective father when at that age. The girls, with the support of various townspeople, endeavor to get their way. One refuses to wear the nice clothes her father so much admires her in, while the other takes to her bed and refuses to eat. The fathers, of course, give in, and ultimately agree to the happy ending.

Kind of a bonus short story at the end of The Warden. Realised about 20 pages in it's nominally a Christmas story, but finished it anyway. It's a nice short story in the same tone/location as the main Barsetshire story but without sharing characters; predictable and almost totally without stakes but
3.5 stars This is a sweet and funny little 60-ish page novella set some 30 years after the events in The Warden. My favorite part was getting brief glimpses of characters from the Barsetshire novels. The main one is Harry Gresham, the son of Frank and Mary. There is a hint that he is interested in t
