Ayala's Angel is a sparkling late Victorian novel by one of England's most prolific and beloved storytellers, Anthony Trollope. The story chronicles the romantic fortunes of Ayala Dormer, a spirited and imaginative young woman who, after the death of her father, is taken in by wealthy relatives and finds herself navigating the complicated social currents of Victorian society. Ayala harbours an idealised vision of a perfect Angel of Light — the man she believes she is destined to love — and the novel traces her journey as reality and romance collide in unexpected and often comic ways. Trollope writes with his characteristic wit and warmth, delivering sharp social observation alongside a deeply human portrait of love, pride, and the tension between romantic idealism and practical life. This Oxford University Press edition includes an introduction by Simon Raven, offering a thoughtful critical perspective on the work.
