I'm travelling to visit family this weekend. If there should be a dull moment (highly unlikely!) I've got Trollope in my suitcase and all will be well.

About Me
- hopeinbrazil
- I'm a book snob. I can't help it. I love books that build the heart and mind and despise the fluffy stuff. I enjoy English literature, Children's classics, theology, and World War II history. I try to post about a book each Friday and occasionally I'll add another tidbit or post a link to another good review.

Trollope... Which Trollope would you recommend to someone who has not yet read any?
Enjoy your weekend.
I think Trollope's THE WARDEN is one of his most accessible novels. It's the first of six in a series so if you like it there's more.
Hope, I'm the same way. When I take a trip one of the first questions is "which book will I bring with me?"
Blessings on your family weekend.
Carol
