Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage ~ BIG READ

–

On 28th December 2026 join Trollope enthusiasts from across the world to discuss Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage as we read it together on Zoom.

Set in a quiet English village, Christmas Day at Kirkby Cottage brings Trollope’s close eye to family life, social expectation, and the small tensions that surface at moments of supposed harmony. As guests gather for a Christmas visit, kindness, anxiety, and unspoken hopes sit side by side. With gentle irony and careful observation, Trollope explores how ordinary people behave when generosity, pride, and affection are all tested in the course of a single winter’s day.
