This is Trollope's most detailed and concise study of middle-class life in a small provincial community - in this case Baslehurst, in the luscious Devon countryside. It is also a charming love-story, centring on sweet-natured Rachel Ray and her suitor Luke Rowan, whose battle to wrest controlover Baslehurst's brewery involves a host of typically Trollopian local characters. | Rachel Ray by Anthony Trollope, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
