Download Can You Forgive Her? Audiobook

" Trollope is more serious in this novel than the delightful Barchester series. "

" I'm reading this now, and except for the long chapter about hunting, I love it. It's a great look at the expectations of young women in relationships in Victorian England. It's not so far from today's reality as one might think. "

" Alice Vavasor is one of the most frustrating heroines I have ever come across. I still liked her though - and OF COURSE I forgave her! "

" Love the whole series. It's past time I re-read it. "

" Love Trollope. Mostly. "

" This had an obscene number of characters. I think we could have lost the Mrs. Greenow story line. It was a good book. Very frustrating very often, and I got very caught up in Alice's indecisiveness. "

" The first of Anthony Trollope's "Palliser" series of novels that examine life in "society" in all its gloriously genteel scandal and drama. Classic Victorian story, delicious to read. I adore Trollope! "

" My favourite of Trollope's novels. So many interesting ethical questions. "

" Trollope is more serious in this novel than the delightful Barchester series. "

" Not one of Trollope's best works. It got a little long winded through the middle and with a Victorian novel that's saying something. "

" Inspired by PBS, I read the Palliser series and became intrigued by their society and political intrigues. "

" The first of the Palliser novels, a great series. "

" A marvelous read, and I've already jumped into the next book in the series, Phineas Finn. "

" Third time reading this book. If you don't persevere, or if you don't catch Trollope's satire, you will miss a great read. I will read this book again...just not for another year or two. "

" smart, full of suspense and surprising twists, really fascinating amount of history woven in with such skill. i read it when going through a big upheaval of my own, and it soothed me to collapse into this story, which is several stories intertwined. "

" only took me ten months. "

" This is the first of the Palliser series. I'm going to read them all unless I get a job first. "

" The first of the Palliser novels, a great series. "

" I loved ALL the Chronicles of Barset. This, however, was stilted and annoying. I finished it (in that I made it to the end) but it was a slog and Ive forgotten most of it already "

" Fun to read. Reminds me of bronte/Austen . "

" I lived this book very amusing and beautifully written. "

" Very classic English literature wherein the choices in love are between a solid, upstanding man and a man whose love is false and immature. In my opinion, it is not going to rival Bronte, but is nonetheless an enjoyable read. "

" I love to read Trollope but this book aggravated me with the main female character's indecision. All the self flaggelation seemed to me to be completely unreal. However, I soldiered through and was glad that all came right in the end. "

" Not my favorite Trollope... but I was a bit frazzled at the time, so perhaps I should try again when I'm able to read in a more leisurely fashion. (Trollope, of course, demands a leisurely reading!) "

" my most recent read. a little hard to get into, but then, like pride and prejudice, it just sort of transports you to the time of the characters. Alice is so likeable in her flawed way. Really similar in theme to pride and prejudice. "

" 830 pages - some were superfluous - but it's good to read a classic and appreciate the language and society and nuanced conversation "

" 20 years since I last read it. Still very good. Interesting treatment of the roles of women in society in 19th Century England especially the interaction of love and marriage. "

" This was the very first Anthony Trollope book I read - which I picked off a library shelf because I loved the title - and that was the beginning of my Trollope binge. I read all the Palliser novels and have re-read them all since - my favorites are Phineas Finn and Phineas Redux. "

" No, I can't. At least not yet (halfway through, struggling). "

" Alice Vavosar is a joyless pain in the butt. Mr. Grey is a boring suitor and George Vavosar is not believable as one whom Alice would be drawn to. Thank God Glencora is part of the story, or else I'd be stuck having to try to care what Alice does with her life. "

" One of my favorite Trollope books - this woman is CRAZY! Read it and feel better about yourself :-) "

" One of his best (and I love Trollope). "

" This is the first novel in the Palliser series. "

" Not as good a writer as Dickens, in my opinion, but Trollop is talented, and this was a good read, even if I wanted to slap the protagonist many times throughout the book. :) "
