It opens with the Bishop of Barchester lying on his death bed; soon a battle begins over who will take over power, with key players including the rather incompetent Dr Proudie, his fiendishly unpleasant wife and his slippery curate, Slope. This is a wonderfully rich novel, in which men and women are too shy to tell each other of their love; misunderstandings abound; and Church of England officials are only too willing to undermine each other in the battle for power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Trollope's best-loved novels, it is a dazzlingly real portrayal of nineteenth-century provincial England peppered with humour, wisdom and extraordinary characters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56435636699516,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8930\/2764\/files\/BT-AT-01.jpg?v=1772563618","url":"https:\/\/bookbubble.co.uk\/products\/barchester-towers-anthony-trollope","provider":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
