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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924715438339,"sku":"9780099595885","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9780099595885_f6a9e7f3-608e-4701-989b-aa09eab3c4cc.jpg?v=1731346837","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9780099595885","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
