{"product_id":"9780140434040-retail-dr-wortles-school","title":"Dr Wortle's School","description":"Mr Peacocke, a Classical scholar, has come to Broughtonshire with his beautiful American wife to live as a schoolmaster. But when the blackmailing brother of her first husband - a reprobate from Louisiana - appears at the school gates, a dreadful secret is revealed and the county is scandalized. Ostracised by the community, the pair seem trapped in a hopeless situation - until the combative but warm-hearted headmaster of the school, Dr Wortle, offers his support, and Mr Peacocke embarks upon a journey to America that he hopes will lay to rest the accusations once and for all. A perceptive exploration of Victorian morality, Dr Wortle's School (1881) also contains echoes of Trollope's own life, and his personal affection for the vivacious Bostonian Kate Field.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49001225388251,"sku":"9780140434040-RETAIL","price":21.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ba025b6e-b524-41e1-bbbb-b161f576af95.jpg?v=1784744600","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780140434040-retail-dr-wortles-school","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
