Rector's Wife
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 1999
Still Her Best
Having read just about all of Joanna Trollope's wonderful books, I have come to regard "The Rector's Wife" as her very best, for so many reasons. For those of us who have ever felt the despair of knowing that love alone cannot save a marriage; for those of us who have ...
The Choir
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2002
Classic Trollope
As a devotee of Joanna Trollope, I had always avoided this one book, due to the dreary book notes that invariably describe it as some row or other about a boys' school choir. I simply could not imagine such a topic holding my interest for more than five seconds, ...
Brother and Sister: A Novel
Joanna Trollope
Bloomsbury USA
, 2005
"The abandoned baby lives inside each adoptee."
In this tension-filled domestic drama, Joanna Trollope shows how the adoption of two children, now adults, have affected all the families involved--the birth mothers and their later families, the adoptive parents and grandparents, and the adoptees themselves, their ...
Marrying the Mistress
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2001
Subtler than its title
Trollope has a real gift for evoking complex relationships and this is no exception. The "mistress" is not actually a mistress in the traditional sense, but rather a smart, successful, down to earth professional woman who is younger than her lover, who is married at ...
Second Honeymoon: A Novel
Joanna Trollope
Bloomsbury USA
, 2007
Captivating
I found this story to be clearly the product of a fine and disciplined mind. Trollope surely has a way of exploring a plethora of modern day family permutations. It was a great read, enough to purchase as a gift for a very close friend... I highly recommend this ...
Girl from the South
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2003
Not sure if I liked it or not
This is the first 3-star review I've ever given. Usually I either really like a book or really dislike it, but I'm still not sure (a week after finishing it) how I feel about Girl From the South. I liked the first half, the intro to Henry, Tilly and William in ...
Other People's Children: A Novel
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2000
You Only Hurt the Ones You Love...
Sometimes it's hard to review Joanna Trollope's books for fear of putting off a potential reader. Such is the case with "Other People's Children," which is a brilliant look at what step- families are really like. I know that I, reading the above sentence, would think, ...
Friday Nights: A Novel
Joanna Trollope
Bloomsbury USA
, 2008
A quiet but solidly satisfying tale
Eleanor lived her life as a professional working for Britain's National Health Service. Upon retirement, she finds herself a bored elderly person with a cane and no real interests or relationships. Gazing out her window, she frequently sees two young ladies, separately ...
Men and the Girls
Joanna Trollope
Harper Paperbacks
, 1995
One of Trollope's best
I have read nearly all Joanna Trollope's books and this book is one of her best. The story was complex without exaggeration. I especially enjoyed the intergenerational weave of relationships.

Next of Kin
Joanna Trollope is one of my favorite authors and this was an excellent book, received in great condition.

Very well done

A Second Legacy
Joanna Trollope,
Caroline Harvey
Viking Adult
, 2001
Vicarious Travel and A Generational Saga
A generational study of following one's heart, beginning with the mother coming of age in the 60s and the daughter in the 80s. With very different perspectives and the usual mother/daughter drama, this is a very richly readable book that reminds me a lot of Pilcher and ...
A Village Affair
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2002
Not At All Ordinary
Joanna Trollope never goes for the easy way out. All of her books are full of people that are so real, so full of the layers of "humanhood," if you will, that we can't help but feel we know everybody in her books. This is, of course, her very great talent. "A Village ...
A Spanish Lover
Joanna Trollope
Berkley Trade
, 2001
"There is no change without sacrifice."
Lizzie and Frances are nearly identical twins in "A Spanish Lover," by Joanna Trollope. Lizzie and her husband have a business, four children, and a beautiful home. Frances, on the other hand, is unmarried and seems to be drifting along without a sense of direction. ...
