John Caldigate is a novel written by Anthony Trollope and published in 1879. The story follows the life of John Caldigate, a young man from a wealthy family in England who falls in love with a beautiful American woman named Hester Bolton. Despite objections from his family and friends, John decides to marry Hester and they move to Australia to start a new life together.However, their happiness is short-lived as John is accused of bigamy after a misunderstanding with a previous lover. He is forced to return to England to stand trial, leaving Hester behind in Australia. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, loyalty, and betrayal as John fights to clear his name and reunite with his wife.Trollope's writing is known for its detailed characterizations and social commentary, and John Caldigate is no exception. The novel provides a vivid portrayal of life in 19th-century England and Australia, with a cast of complex and relatable characters. It is a compelling story of love and redemption that has stood the test of time.Something more than a month had gone by, and John Caldigate and Mrs. Smith were very close companions. This had not been effected without considerable opposition, partly on the part of Shand, and partly by the ship's inhabitants generally. The inhabitants of the ship were inimical to Mrs. Smith. She was a woman who had no friends; and the very female who had first appeared as a friend was now the readiest to say hard things of her. And Caldigate was a handsome well-mannered young man. By this time all the ladies in the first-class knew very well who he was, and some of them had spoken to him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
