The American Senator
by Anthony Trollope
“Culture clash meets high-stakes courtship in this sharp, witty dissection of Victorian society.”
When a blunt American senator arrives in the English countryside to critique its quirky institutions, he finds himself a front-row observer to the high-stakes games of fox hunting and husband-hunting. Anthony Trollope masterfully weaves together political satire and romantic desperation, offering a sharp, witty look at Victorian society through the eyes of a skeptical outsider.
