Anthony Trollope
Kept in the Dark
Buch
Cecilia, when she first read her husband's letter, could not clearly grasp its import. Could it be that he truly intended to leave her forever? Surely not . . . they had been married but a few months -- a few months of inexpressible love and confidence; and it was impossible that he should intend they be thus parted. But when she had read it again and again, the words pressed themselves upon her with greater and greater weight: Pray believe it, said the words in her husband's hand. We have now parted forever!

Über den Autor
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.
