Full of fascinating knowledge about the Victorian age in England-A great story superbly told.' -- Augustine Martin, * Irish Times *
As compelling readable as any of Anthony's own novels.' -- Ruth Rendell, * Sunday Express *
I came to this biography of Trollope with unreasonably high expectations. They were amply fulfilled-A work as readable, richly shifting and well-shaped as a good novel-compendiously well-informed.' -- Caroline Moore, * The Times *
