The Small House at Allington Volume 2

The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope is a poignant novel of love, social constraint, and quiet endurance in Victorian England. Set in the rural village of Allington, it follows the lives of two sisters, Lily and Bell Dale, who live with their widowed mother in a modest cottage. When two brothers, Adolphus and Bernard Crawley, rent nearby, romance blooms—especially between shy, beautiful Lily and the kind Adolphus. But Lily’s heart belongs to the charming yet unreliable Dr. John Crofts, creating emotional turmoil. Trollope masterfully explores unrequited love, familial duty, and the limited choices available to women. With empathy and subtle irony, the novel captures the heartbreak of hopes deferred and the dignity found in ordinary lives.
