Rachel Ray (Classic Reprint)
Rachel Ray (Classic Reprint) | Anthony Trollope
3 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Excerpt from Rachel Ray Good Words. For some reason or other, he hated the school of thought in the National Church known as the Low, or the Evan gelical, and never missed an opportunity of criticizing and - as it seems to the onlooker caricaturing it. The Rev. Mr. Prong, who con demus Rachel Ray for wanting to go to a dance, is, from his name onwards, a caricature, and not in the best taste. For the rest, the story is brightly and amusingly told, though far from being on a level with Trollope's best work.

Although it takes place almost 100 years later, this book had echoes of Frances Burney‘s Evalina in the way it exemplifies how a young woman‘s reputation was at risk when she does not have good guidance.

A gentle romance set in the Devonshire countryside, with the occasional light comic turn.

Definitely Trollope does not stint in his criticism of low church evangelicals. The anti-Semitism is there but also repudiated.

BarbaraBB Oh Trollope. He is always eyeing me from my shelves. Is this a stand-alone? 4y
Ruthiella @BarbaraBB Sorry Tony is putting the pressure on you! 😅 This IS a stand-alone and a good place to start with Trollope. If you like it, carry on, you will probably like his other books too. If you don‘t like it, it‘s a relatively small investment of your time.😀 4y
BarbaraBB I read the first two of his Palliser novels and really liked them but somehow never picked up the third 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

Seventeen percent in and enjoying this very much. Trollope is dear to my heart, and I am so happy there are still so many books by him I‘ve not read yet.
