The Claverings Anthony Trollope

Dive into the literary classics with The Claverings by notable Victorian author Anthony Trollope.

The Claverings tells the tale of young Harry Clavering, an aspiring engineer and son of a clergyman. Harry falls in love with a young and beautiful woman, only to have her swept away by a wealthy Earl. She later returns, but only after young Harry has entered into a relationship with another woman. This is a classic love triangle story that is centered on human nature and the tough decisions we all must make. The characters are rich and real, flawed and driven by emotion, with layers that are expertly revealed by Trollope as the book progresses.

This is a Victorian novel through and through, and cannot be separated from the era it was written in. It can at times be slow and meandering. It is not a ferocious page-turner, but rather the perfect complement to a quiet day by the lake.

Sincere and at times humorous, The Claverings will appeal to fans of Trollope's work, readers of Victorian fiction, or anybody interested in investing time in a good love-triangle story. It is an excellent entry point to the stories of Anthony Trollope, and is thus highly recommended.
