"Doctor Thorne" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Greshams, particularly focusing on the young heir, Francis Newbold Gresham, and his relationships with his family, the de Courcy family, and Dr. Thorne, the local physician who plays a significant role in the community. The narrative explores themes of social class, familial obligations, and the intricacies of love and ambition in a rural English setting. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Gresham family, living in the county of Barsetshire. We learn about the challenges faced by the current squire, Frank Gresham, who is struggling to maintain his social standing and familial legacy amid financial difficulties exacerbated by his wife, Lady Arabella's, aspirations. The narrative also delves into the life of Dr. Thorne, who has a complicated history and will be central to the unfolding story. The opening chapters set up a rich backdrop of characters and situations, hinting at the tensions and relationships that will develop throughout the novel.
