  <default_description>Trollope's 1875 tale of a great financier's fraudulent machinations in the railway business, and his daughter's ill-use at the hands of a grasping lover (for whom she steals funds in order to elope) is a classic in the literature of money and a ripping good read as well.</default_description>

He takes all the elements that make his other books so great and balances them perfectly against one another.

Although Trollope was clearly a man of his time, with his belief in the manly man and the womanly woman, this novel is true the way the North Star is true.  I wish he (and Dickens) were alive today to capture this same greed and villainy and hope. (The book also has some p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4066093">more...</a>]]></body>
