Kept in the Dark (1882) by Anthony Trollope, one of his final works, contains all the elements for which the author is so well-loved, the ups and downs, tragedy and joy of relationships, rendered with the sensibility of Jane Austen and the heartwarming cheer of Dickens.

Here, couples love and fight, engagements are made and broken, romantic deceptions, misunderstandings and wonderful revelations come to light, as only Trollope could write them.
