Original author: Anthony Trollope

CompletedPublished Updated

"Castle Richmond" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written between 1859 and 1860. Set in southwestern Ireland during the Great Famine, it follows two Protestant cousins who compete for the hand of an impoverished noblewoman. The story weaves together romance, family secrets involving bigamy, and vivid depictions of famine relief efforts. With an unusually complicated plot for Trollope, the novel explores both matters of the heart and explicit religious commentary against the backdrop of Ireland's darkest period.
