The first book in Anthony Trollope's funny, warm, well-loved Barchester Chronicles perfect for Austen fansThe tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furor, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr. John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding's abrasive son-in-law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, thisnovelis also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding's intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs."

Zonder het te weten wordt Mitchell McDeere, briljant rechtenstudent van arme ouders, al geruime tijd in de gaten gehouden. Zodra hij afstudeert, biedt het prestigieuze juristenkantoor Bendini, Lambert & Locke hem niet alleen een zeer aantrekkelijke baan aan, maar het overlaadt de net getrouwde Mitchell ook nog eens met een zeer vorstelijk salaris, een schitterende auto, een prachtig huis met een zeer lage hypotheek en talrijke bonussen. Niets laat het kantoor onbeproefd om het de uitverkoren nieuwe medewerker naar de zin te maken. Er moet natuurlijk wel wat tegenover staan: absolute loyaliteit, een negentigurige werkweek en haast onhaalbare resultaten. Na verloop van tijd begint de dodelijk vermoeide Mitchell zich ongemakkelijk te voelen in het strakke keurslijf van zijn werkgever. Wat gaat er schuil achter de respectabele façade van het kantoor en wat speelt zich af op de ontoegankelijke bovenste verdieping? Als Mitchell dan ook nog ontdekt dat geen enkele medewerker ooit de zaak verlaten heeft - tenzij horizontaal -, zien Mitchell en zijn inmiddels wanhopige vrouw Abby maar één manier om hun vrijheid terug te krijgen..
