"Barchester Towers" by Anthony Trollope is a book about the complicated world of church politics in a made-up English city. It tells the stories of people like Bishop Proudie and Archdeacon Grantly, whose lives are filled with big goals and power struggles. After the old bishop dies, everyone wonders who will take his place. Archdeacon Grantly, the old bishop's son, really wants the job, but instead, Dr. Proudie gets chosen. This causes a lot of problems between the new bishop and Archdeacon Grantly, who is used to being in charge. The story shows how these characters try to get ahead in a society with strict rules, and it hints at the fights that are about to happen.
