PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This first novel in Trollope s classic Chronicles of Barsetshire series pits reformer John Bold against Septimus Harding, the precentor of Barchester Cathedral and warden of Hiram s Hospital, an almshouse supported by a bequest to the local diocese. As Bold works to expose the fact that more of the charity s income goes to Harding than to its bedesmen, he begins to take a romantic interest in Harding s youngest daughter, Eleanor. In this audio edition, narrator David Shaw-Parker delivers a winning performance that keeps listeners engaged throughout. With a deep, accented voice Shaw-Parker brings this 19th-century novel to life. His timing and tone are spot-on and he creates distinct voices for the book s many characters.
