Reading Orley Farm | Alexandria
Read Orley Farm by Anthony Trollope. Forging a Victorian legal thriller with a female antiheroine, Orley Farm upends expectations by making its central character a skillful forger who gains sympathy despite her crimes. The story challenges notions of justice by showing how moral certainty crumbles when property, class, and gender collide - proving that "right" and "wrong" are rarely simple, even in seemingly clear cases of fraud.
