I just finished that a few days ago! I was going to read all of the Barchester Chronicles (they, and all the Palliser novels, are available for free kindle download at Amazon) but after suffering through the atrocious Doctor Thorne , I gave up on that idea. (How can someone who wrote books as good as BT, The Way we Live Now, and even The Warden write something so horrid?) So I am going through Page Smith’s 8 volume history again (the first 3-4 books are pretty good IIRC) and Can You Forgive Her? , the first book in the Palliser series. I hope it’s better than Doctor Thorne, and there’s no way it can be worse.
