Trollope isn't as well known as Dickens or Austen. I think the emotional intelligence of this book makes up for the fact that nothing much happens.
There's a vicar who is old friends with the Bishop. He's made Warden of an Almshouse for old men in the community. The amount of money he's going to get to do basically nothing is embarrassingly large.
It's an extremely gentle book about controversy, conspiracy, and people taking a moral stand.
It got me hooked on Trollope. His other books are far more intricate, worldly, and entertaining. But I like this short novel very much.
