February 2012 Guest Editor Joanna Trollope on Anthony Trollope...
The real Trollope. Of all the Victorians, Anthony Trollope is the most profoundly psychological of novelists – and he was writing long before Freud!. His women are particularly good, especially when you think that marriage was the only career option for millions of them.

On My Bookshelf by Joanna Trollope...
No writer of his time was better at people than, as my family refer to him, The Real Trollope – Anthony of the small specs and the huge beard. Miss Mackenzie is an affectionate and accurate portrait of the eternal female psyche – a small gem.

The story centers around Miss Margaret Mackenzie, a woman in her mid-thirties who has spent most of her life caring for her ailing family members.
