Elizabeth (Alaska) | 214 comments First published in 1848, Trollope's second novel tells the story of Lord Ballindine, and his near neighbours Mrs. Kelly and her son Martin.

David Postle | 39 comments In my Oxford Classics version of this book.
William Trevor cites this as Trollopes first great work in his introduction. Although, I wouldn't go this far, in my opinion, it is certainly the best of his first 3 novels, and contains a lot of Trollopian touches and is certainly well worth reading.
