Anthony Trollope
At the opening of The Claverings (1866) the beautiful Julia Brabazon jilts her lover Harry Clavering in order to make a marriage of convenience with a wealthy but dissolute earl. Harry licks his wounds, leaves London to train as a civil engineer, and falls in love with his employer's daughter, to whom he soon becomes engaged. But when Julia returns unexpectedly as a wealthy widow, the flame of Harry's old love is rekindled.
In his depiction of this quintessential love triangle, Anthony Trollope digs deep into the psychological make-up of a wonderful array of flawed characters: emotionally strong, determined women whose only prospects depend on making an advantageous marriage; a weak-willed, vacillating anti-hero who in a moment of weakness makes an impossible promise; and a memorable cast of secondary characters, from a suspected Russian spy and a feckless gambler to a zealous evangelical clergyman.

This passage from The Claverings neatly summarizes why I enjoyed this, and indeed all the Trollope I have listened to on Audible. Unlike Dickens, his world isn’t divided between angels and demons. It’s full of humans.
Another reason for my state of Trollopian near-bliss is the performance of Nigel Patterson. Very occasionally he gets his character voices a little muddled, but the overall effect is splendid.

If you don't like love triangles than this might not be for you, but I found it interesting in how characters acted in different situations.
The other reason why I loved it is because it is funny and I love books that can make me laugh but also has a serious note to it as well.
I would highly recommend this book.
