Trollope opens by declaring the southern edges of Dartmoor the prettiest scenery in England, then tells of Patience Woolsworthy, daughter of the parson of Oxney Colne. When a fashionable young man courts her and she admits she loves him with all her heart, the gulf between his worldly expectations and her plain country dignity becomes the real test.
A crisp, satisfying long story showing Trollope’s sure touch with courtship and character. Download the free EPUB.
