The Claverings, Volume I of II by Anthony Trollope, Fiction, Literary

JILTED FOR A DEGENERATE LORD!

Harry Clavering loved Julia Brabazon.

After a brilliant career at Oxford, Harry's future was bright. But then, the selfish Julia met the degenerate Lord Ongar and fell in love with his title and -- and his money. She left Harry and married the Lord.

The marriage was a disaster, of course -- mitigated only by Lord Ongar's death a year later from his dissolutions. A wealthy widow now, Lady Julia Ongar returns from the Continent to find that her name has been besmirched by rumors of infidelity -- by Lord Ongar himself.

Now she works to regain the heart of her abandoned lover, Harry Clavering.

But Harry is engaged to Florence Burton, the daughter of his new employer.

Harry does not let Julia know of the engagement. He must choose now between an old flame -- and a new love.

About the Author
Trollope, Anthony: - "Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the lost-letter box for ideas."
