Not everyone's cup of tea I know however I have read and enjoyed most if not all of her books. My favourite is 'Other People's Children.
In today's Guardian there is a called review of her latest book called 'Friday Nights'. Trollope is referred to there as 'The Queen of the Aga Saga' because most of her stories are set in the Cotswold villages and are about the characters who live there.
Anyone else enjoy JT? If so, what is your favourite?

I read The Rector's Wife many years ago and I think I enjoyed it! (My memory is not what it was!). My mother-in-law loves her books though so she will be happy to know a new one is on the horizon. :)

I've read one or two of hers but for the life of me I can't remember the titles!

I read other people's children (I think) and I remember thinking she is a good writer, and it was an enjoyable read in a way, but reading about domestic problems wasn't really escapist, or exciting enough for me in a book. I do have another of hers on the shelf though that I picked up second hand.

Have read a few, but can't remember which ones except 'The Rector's Wife'. Was that not made into something for the telly! I do like her though.
