It opens with the Bishop of Barchester lying on his death bed; soon a battle begins over who will take over power, with key players including the rather incompetent Dr Proudie, his fiendishly unpleasant wife and his slippery curate, Slope. This is a wonderfully rich novel, in which men and women are too shy to tell each other of their love; misunderstandings abound; and Church of England officials are only too willing to undermine each other in the battle for power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of Trollope's best-loved novels, it is a dazzlingly real portrayal of nineteenth-century provincial England peppered with humour, wisdom and extraordinary characters.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trollope, Anthony","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44211357090082,"sku":"9780099595885","price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/trollope-anthony-anthony-trollope-barchester-towers-vintage-classics-2015-paperback-9780099595885-58329430753619.jpg?v=1727711770","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/barchester-towers-pb-w9","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
