Book Overview
This is Trollope's eightieth tale. Though it is the work of an older man, it is perhaps the brightest and freshest novel he ever wrote. The story of a young woman forced to choose a husband from among three unsavory men, the novel is remarkable for its wealth of minor characters and it romantic exuberance.

Another enjoyable Trollope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I don't know why this book says "Volume 1," but I read the Kindle version, which was complete. It's a very enjoyable Trollope. Ayala is a frustrating heroine, but Trollope brings her along until you end up being very happy with her, and there are, as usual, some humorous characters, and some other endearing characters besides the heroine. Not much politics in this book as in many of Trollope's. This book is mostly about the characters' interactions. I loved the way he wound it all up in the end. Satisfying conclusions all around.
Light Trollope
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Ayala's Angel is much lighter and more lyric than many of Trollope's novels. Ayala is a dreamer, and Trollope wants us to respect her for that. The pace and the humor are typical Trollope. I enjoyed it very much, though it's hardly his most profound commentary.
