What I'm Reading
by Anthony Trollope. Dr. Wortle discovers that his most esteemed teacher at his school for boys, Mr. Peacocke, is not actually married to his wife, leaving the school and Dr. Wortle in a moral quandary. I’ve never read Trollope. It was charming. The ending of this book was so strange — Dr. Peacocke’s marital situation is resolved and the last 20 pages of the book find Dr. Wortle’s daughter engaged to a former student. I am too thick to see the connection.
Thank you Sheila McGrath for mentioning this book years ago as one of your favorites. Now it’s one of mine too. I looked for a copy that didn’t have this hideous now-a-movie cover, but at $150-$1600 a pop online, I’ll just keep this one. Delightful.
On the first day of May (in my 50th year), my aunt Sue gave to me…. this wonderful little book I’ve never heard of written in 1949 and re-released by Persephone Press. Lovely.
