painting of a young Victorian woman looking at a young man

Rachel Ray

In Rachel Ray, Trollope examines gossip, moral judgement, and the fragile nature of reputation, tracing how a thoughtful young woman faces suspicion and interference, and how easily respectability can turn harsh and unjust in a small community.

I love Trollope. I always have his picture at my desk. I find him to be a very inspiring and warm presence in my life.
