Castle Richmond is a novel written by popular Victorian-era English novelist Anthony Trollope and was one of Trollope's more popular works. This novel presents readers the opportunity to be transported by the talented author to the rolling hills of Ireland during the infamous potato famine of the mid 1800s.
Set in County Cork, Castle Richmond is a tale of two upper class families, the Desmonds and the Fitzgeralds. The story is a romance that features two cousins competing for the hand of one woman, the beautiful Clara Desmond. Set against the backdrop of the Great Famine, the story deals primarily with the drama that emerges between these two wealthy families as they try to determine the rightful heir to the great Castle Richmond. Trollope does not ignore the Irish famine, but rather effectively uses the struggles of the working class to illuminate the gap between the rich and the poor.
Castle Richmond is a book ripe with fascinating characters, brilliant dialogue, and beautiful subtlety. The plot moves along at a steady pace, and Trollope expertly balances the primary story of the Desmonds and the Fitzgeralds with the hardships of the country's proletariat. The author even includes set pieces designed to inject humor into a story that could otherwise seem quite glum at times.
Trollope is a brilliant and underappreciated author, and Castle Richmond finds the scribe in top form. This is a book that will appeal to both longtime fans of Trollope, as well as those new to his work. This intricate love story is a masterful work and one that deserves to be read by a wide audience.
