Framley Parsonage

Framley Parsonage is a novel by Anthony Trollope about Mark Robarts, a young clergyman tempted by influential friends and a more fashionable life. His willingness to guarantee another man's debts endangers the security of his family and parish. Alongside this crisis, the courtship of his sister Lucy and Lord Lufton tests the claims of affection against social rank. The novel's domestic conversations and church politics give practical weight to questions of trust, humility, and responsibility.
