Doctor Thorne a novel

Mary Thorne, orphaned (and illegitimate) niece of Dr. Thorne, has long been a favorite at Greshamsbury House--until Lady Arabella Gresham learns that her only son Frank is in love with Mary. The unhappy Mary is banished forthwith, because the Gresham family fortunes are so depleted that Frank must marry money. Frank, however, is one of the few completely honorable young men in Trollope's novels and remains stubbornly true to his love. Well, he does propose to another woman, at the insistence of his mother, but only with the virtual certainty that he will be rejected--as indeed he is. The lady is Miss Dunstable, one of Trollope's most delightful characters, a fabulously wealthy thirtyish heiress of an ointment company. She is a bold, witty woman, not beautiful, but attractive in her way, whose wealth invites countless proposals. After the rather complicated plot unfolds, the tables are completely turned, and Mary is eagerly welcomed by Lady Arabella (who, of course, has always loved her) as the savior of the family. - Open Library.

  • "The family of the Squire of Greshamsbury opposes the marriage of their son and heir Frank Gresham to Mary Thorne, the niece of the village physician, Dr. Thorne; they insist that Frank "marry money.""
  • "Doctor Thorne was considered by Trollope to be the best of his works - a profound examination of the relationship between money and love, as it shifts away from the city of Barchester to a more rural setting. Frank Gresham is bankrupt and in love. Unfortunately, the woman he loves, Mary Thorne, is illegitimate and broke. Frank's overbearing mother and haughty aunt are against the match, insisting that Frank marry a wealthy heiress. Doctor Thorne, Mary's Uncle, knows a secret that could change everything - Mary is about to inherit a considerable fortune. But she's insistent that she be accepted on her own terms. Will Frank succumb to family pressure, or go with his heart?"
