Novel 333 Frances Milton Trollope, One Fault (1839)

July 5, 2025 David Bywaters

Sir William Quiller Orchardson, The First Cloud


A woman suffers from her husband’s bad temper.


For Trollope, see Novels 029, 079, 138, 189, 190, 191, and 269. The reviews of this one were not particularly favorable.

“Though it excites little interest and furnishes little entertainment, it is agreeably written, and contains a sufficient number of pleasing scenes and descriptions to render it very readable.” Spectator, November 30, 1839

“Mrs. Trollope no doubt draws forcibly, but there is a rigidity in her characters which removes them from ordinary life.” Literary Gazette, November 30, 1839

“A very inferior novel . . . dull and disagreeable; . . . nothing so preposterous as the one-faulted husband ever existed.” Morning Post, December 6, 1839
