I finished the 30+ hours of The Last Chronicle of Barset; the plotting was perfunctory albeit with a surprise or two, but the characterizations, dialogue and social commentary were exemplary and Timothy West did his usual marvelous narration. Sorry I am to be done with Barsetshire, but at least there’s more Trollope read by West in my future.
I’ve started the sixth Flashman book by George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman’s Lady read by Colin Mace. This is one of my favorite series of all time, right up there with Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin books, so this is in the nature of a treat. I parcel these books out very slowly - I read the first of the series in the summer of 2016.
