The Last Chronicle of Barset Anthony Trollope

In The Last Chronicle of Barset, Trollope concludes his saga of ecclesiastical life.

Josiah Crawley, a proud, impoverished clergyman, faces difficult legal circumstances. Caught amidst 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 of Barset is a joyful end to the Chronicles of Barsetshire. Trollope skillfully weaves together plot threads and characters from earlier novels in the series and provides a fond farewell tour of his cherished diocese.
