The Belton Estate 

In 'The Belton Estate’ by Anthony Trollope, the struggle for inheritance and love intertwines the lives of the Amedroz family and their cousin, Will Belton. As the Amedroz estate faces financial ruin, Will, a pragmatic and kind-hearted farmer, offers support and proposes to Clara Amedroz, who is torn between duty and her own desires. Clara’s engagement to another man complicates matters, testing loyalties and affections. Trollope masterfully explores themes of duty, love, and social expectations in this compelling Victorian drama.
