Not quite what you would expect from Trollope: this late work is a satirical fantasy, set 100 years in the future (1979-1980!) in an imaginary former British colony in the South Pacific. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Sweet Surrender by Ashleigh Walton![]() ![]() ![]() Of a secret love child finally brought home where he belongs.
