Anthony Trollope Bicentennial: First Giveaway!


To celebrate the first week of the Anthony Trollope Bicentennial Celebration, it's time for the first giveaway!!   This week, I'm giving away a lovely Vintage Classics paperback copy of Trollope's novel Can You Forgive Her?



Written in 1865, Can You Forgive Her?  is the first of Trollope's beloved Pallisers series.  It's the is the story of Alice Vavasor, a woman torn between two lovers -- the solid and dependable John Grey, and her wild, impulsive cousin George -- but is George just after her money?  Meanwhile, her cousin Lady Glencora has married Plantagenet Palliser, a politician with a bright future, but she can't forget her first love, a handsome scoundrel.  It's a great story -- and did I mention it's 784 pages long?

The rules:
  • To enter the drawing, please leave a comment below, and include an email address if your comment doesn't automatically link back to your blog.
  • This particular giveaway is open to any blogger in the United States.  (But fear not, the next giveaway will be international!)  
  • The contest is open until 11:59 p.m., Central Standard Time, Thursday, April 16.  
  • The winner will be announced Friday, April 17.  The winner will have 48 hours to contact me, either by commenting on the blog posting the announcement, or by email.  Otherwise, I'll select another winner.

    I have not read this yet and having gotten hooked on Trollope through the Barsetshire series, I'm very interested in checking it out. The more pages, the better as far as I'm concerned! I love the new Vintage editions. Not sure if my blog will link automatically, so my email is lory [at] emeraldcitybookreview [dot] com.

    I have half a book left before I will start reading my very first Trollope. I'm looking forward to it. That Vintage edition is gorgeous, and the title is so intriguing, isn't it? Like Lory, I say the more pages the better. My e-mail is mybookstrings [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks for the giveaway!

    I haven't read this one yet, but read all of his Chronicles of Barsetshire last year and fell for his work big time!

    I am reading Dr. Thorne, and love the Chronicles of Barsetshire. The cover of the book you are giving away is quite handsome. My comment should link to my blog.
