This comprehensive novel consists of three subplots which interlink to form the whole and supply a trio of targets at which Trollope aims his proselytising pen. The first treats on the courtship of a woman by a man whom she does not love and with whom she is not compatible. Mary Lowther will not accept such a marriage of dishonesty. The second deals with the plight of a young woman who has fallen prey to the wiles of an evil seducer and subsequently adopts a life of prostitution.

In this world of bribes, vendettas, and swindling, in which heiresses are gambled and won, Trollope's characters embody all the vices: Lady Carbury is 'false from head to foot'; her son Felix has 'the instincts of a horse, not approaching the higher sympathies of a dog'; and Melmotte - the colossal figure who dominates the book - is a 'horrid, big, rich scoundrel...a bloated swindler...a vile city ruffian'. But as vile as he is, he is considered one of Trollope's greatest creations.

Set in the world of the Victorian professional and landed classes, the story centres on Mr Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity who is nevertheless in possession of an income from a charity far in excess of the sum devoted to it.

Publisher's Summary

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation by Martyn Wade of Anthony Trollope’s classic novel.

Orley Farm, described as a “[B]rilliantly choreographed legal thriller” (Mail on Sunday), centres on the pathos of the main character, Lady Mason. Youthful marriage choices, middle-aged marital crisis, love and loss revolve around the legal action and the complex portrayal of Lady Mason, who is both sympathetic and wily. The novel proposes a standard of morality higher than that embodied in the practice of an English court of law. With its concern for social issues and its extensive coverage of middle-class and landed life, Orley Farm is a novel that demands attention in the rich field of 19th century fiction. Trollope wrote in his autobiography that his friends considered this "the best I have written".

With Tim Pigott-Smith as Anthony Trollope and Samantha Bond as Lady Mason, this production also stars Ronald Pickup, Dan Stevens, Amanda Root, Jonathan Christie, and Lydia Leonard. Directed by Tracey Neale.

A Victorian Drama

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I'd recommend it to those who like 19th-century literature.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The story concerns a wrangle over who should get a piece of property. I ordinarily don't care for this type of thing, but Trollope knows how to peak your interest because you get to know the characters and feel sympathy for them.

Have you listened to any of Tim Pigott-Smith and Samantha Bond ???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I know Mr. Piggott-Smith is a fine actor and the BBC generally uses fine actors when producing radio dramas.

Did Orley Farm (Dramatised) inspire you to do anything?

Not particularly, but I did get another dramatization of The Barcetshire Chronicles also put on by the BBC.

Any additional comments?

I like the drama although I find Victorian stories tending toward the sentimental, especially Trollope. All in all, I don't regret getting it and listening to it.

Disappointing

I feel there could have been more to it.
The end was not the illumination you would have expected from the build up.
