Ayala's Angel

Anthony Trollope

Ayala's Angel is a novel by the renowned British author, Anthony Trollope. The story revolves around Ayala Dormer, a young and beautiful woman who lives with her two sisters and her aunt in London. Ayala is a romantic and idealistic person, who dreams of finding true love and happiness in life. The novel follows Ayala's journey as she navigates through the complexities of Victorian society, where social status and wealth are highly valued. She is courted by several suitors, including a wealthy but dull man named Tom Tringle, and a penniless artist named Colonel Jonathan Stubbs. However, Ayala's heart belongs to another man, a handsome and charming diplomat named Frank Houston. Despite her aunt's disapproval, Ayala decides to pursue her love for Frank, which leads to a series of dramatic events and unexpected twists. Along the way, Ayala is aided by her guardian angel, a mysterious and benevolent figure who watches over her and guides her through life's challenges. Ayala's Angel is a beautifully written and engaging novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for personal freedom in a rigid society. Trollope's vivid descriptions of Victorian London and its inhabitants, combined with his nuanced characterizations and intricate plot, make this book a must-read for fans of classic literature.It was suggested to Lucy before she had been long in Kingsbury Crescent that she should take some exercise. For the first week she had hardly been out of the house; but this was attributed to her sorrow. Then she had accompanied her aunt for a few days during the half-hour's marketing which took place every morning, but in this there had been no sympathy. Lucy would not interest herself in the shoulder of mutton which must be of just such a weight as to last conveniently for two days.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
