Summary
In The Last Chronicle of Barset, Trollope concludes his saga of ecclesiastical life. At the heart of the novel is the plight of Josiah Crawley, a proud, impoverished clergyman who faces difficult legal circumstances. Caught amid poverty, Josiah appears to have stolen a check and is forced to stand trial - despite the fact that he cannot remember its origins. To make matters worse, his daughter, Grace, desperately seeks the approval of Archdeacon Grantly, whose son she intends to marry. The Last Chronicle is a joyful end to the Chronicles of Barsetshire. Here Trollope skillfully weaves together plot threads and characters from earlier novels in the series and provides a fond farewell tour of his cherished diocese.

Pure delight from start to finish.
These wonderful novels are perfectly read. If you like Trollope, or 19th century novels at all, don’t miss this absolute gem or any of the preceding in the series.

Compelling narrative
The performance couldn't be better. So much variety in the voices it's easy to forget there's one narrator. Trollope weaves together the various plots to great effect.

A brilliant listen
I was really sad to say goodbye to Barset, all the characters had become so real to me. Living in poverty was powerfully drawn as were the good things of Plumstead. It was most beautifully read, a real entertainment.
