Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope is known primarily for his epic novels like Barchester Towers. However, he also wrote a number of smaller "gems". This is one of the best. Alice Dugdale is a plain but intelligent girl who sees the love of her life pushed by society to marry the beautiful, but somewhat vacuous, rich girl in town. Alice's reaction to this situation makes a wonderful and insightful story.
Public Domain (P)1986 Jimcin RecordingsEditorial Reviews
Alice Dugdale is the daughter of the town doctor, unremarkable in appearance but intelligent and good-hearted. The action in this fine short tale, published in 1878, concerns what happens when the man she plans to marry - who has just returned from the war with quite a bit of money - appears to be seduced away by a fashionable but dull socialite. This is an older recording with a variable sound quality, but Sheila Lash's excellent enunciation and smooth voice is a perfect for this funny, sensitive tale of love and society.
