Customer Reviews
Ayala's Angel
Ayala's Angel is very entertaining and the best novel from Trollope's late period.
The Intertwinging Plots
make Ayala's Angel a basketful of interest and good characterization. I sympathized with most of them recognizing the satirical intent of the author. Ayala has her dream of an angel slowly realized, Gertrude achieves marriage, Augusta her high born and Lucy, too, innocent and loving, finds her Adonis. I give nothing away by these observations as the reader will no doubt remain unaware of who achieves what with whom.
