Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

A love that defies fortune, a secret that could upend everything-Mary Thorne's world is anything but ordinary. Raised by the kind but reserved Doctor Thorne, she grows up unaware that her place in society is precarious, especially when she falls for Frank Gresham, a young heir whose family demands he marry for wealth, not love. As whispers of scandal and financial ruin swirl through their village, Doctor Thorne holds a truth that could change Mary's fate forever. With wit, heart, and a keen eye for Victorian society's hypocrisy, Anthony Trollope crafts a tale of love, ambition, and the power of secrets.

Blending romance with sharp social critique, Doctor Thorne captures the rigid class divides and moral dilemmas of Victorian England. Anthony Trollope masterfully explores the tension between birthright and merit, questioning the era's obsession with wealth and lineage. The novel's nuanced characters and intricate plot reflect a society on the brink of change, where personal virtue challenges inherited privilege. A cornerstone of Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire, it remains a timeless commentary on ambition, love, and the shifting tides of social power.
