Description: Ayala's Angel showcases Trollope's great theme: the ways in which the conflicts between money and affection shape the dance of courtship and marriage among the gentry and middle class in Victorian England. Ayala & Lucy Dormer are sisters left penniless on the death of their artist-father and thrown upon the mercies of their relatives where they navigate the waters of family, money, love & marriage.
