"The Small House at Allington" by Anthony Trollope is a novel published in 1864. It follows the Dale sisters, Lily and Bell, who live in modest circumstances on their uncle's estate. When charming London gentleman Adolphus Crosbie visits and proposes to Lily, their future seems bright. But social ambition and class pressures lead to heartbreak and betrayal.
