Although for most modern readers, the language at times feels antiquated, the broad humour and depth of character still has the power to hit hard. The satire on Dickens was particularly funny, and I cannot deny that I am loving this book immensely.

It does take a while for a newer reader to accustom themselves to Trollopes style of writing, but once you get used to it, the reader will find themselves moved and amused and entertained by his story of people and politics, and his exploration of morality in the era in which this takes place (Victorian). I love him.

Melodramatic historical fiction offers as much potential for grand escapism as epic fantasy. I am thoroughly enjoying this book, the first of eight volumes following one family across generations of American history.
