Listener reviews

Tilda - 02/17/2026
I enjoyed that very much. Having re-read WH very recently, I was struck by how horrible most of the characters are, and how dark and violent the novel is. I'd love to see a film that covers both halves of the story. Have to disagree about Trollope's heroine's being all pure and nice though: Lizzy Eustace anyone? Well done though. I liked the interplay between you both - fun and intelligent. Looking forward to next week's episode.
