Rachel Ray is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1863. The story takes place in the fictional town of Baslehurst, England, and follows the life of Rachel Ray, a young woman who lives with her widowed mother and her younger sister. Rachel is a beautiful and intelligent woman who works as a seamstress, and she is courted by two men: Luke Rowan, a wealthy and ambitious young man who has come to Baslehurst to start a new business, and Mr. Tappitt, a local brewer who is also interested in Rachel.As the story progresses, Rachel finds herself torn between the two men, and she must make a difficult decision about which one to marry. Meanwhile, Luke Rowan's business venture is met with opposition from Mr. Tappitt and other members of the community, leading to a heated rivalry between the two men.The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and class, as well as the challenges faced by women in Victorian England. With its vivid characters and engaging plot, Rachel Ray is a classic work of English literature that continues to captivate readers today.Oh, Dolly, do not speak with that terrible voice, as though the world were coming to an end,'' she said, in answer to the first note of objurgation that was uttered; but the notes that came afterwards were so much more terrible, so much more severe, that Rachel found herself quite unable to stop them by any would-be joking tone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
Anthony Trollope was an English novelist and government official during the Victorian era. His best-known works include the Chronicles of Barsetshire, a series of novels set in the fictional county of Barsetshire. He also authored novels about politics, social issues, and gender, among other topics. Trollope's literary fame plummeted in his final years, but he regained some popularity by the mid-twentieth century. Anthony Trollope was the son of barrister Thomas Anthony Trollope and Frances Milton Trollope, a novelist and travel writer. Despite being a brilliant and well-educated man and a Fellow of New College, Oxford, Thomas Trollope failed at the Bar because of his nasty temper. Farming ventures proved unproductive, and he missed out on an expected bequest when an elderly childless uncle remarried and had children. Thomas Trollope was the son of Rev. (Thomas) Anthony Trollope, rector of Cottered in Hertfordshire, and the sixth son of Sir Thomas Trollope, 4th Baronet. The baronetcy was later passed down to the descendants of Anthony Trollope's second son, Frederick.
