The Kellys and the O'Kellys, by Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882)
This is the second of Trollope's four Irish novels: A complicated, funny and touching story about family, neighbors and tenants, debt, jealousy and attempted murder in rural County Roscommon. (Summary by Angela Rowland)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/4917

Target completion date: 2024-08-01

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Wow, thanks! I think it's been about 5 years. I couldn't believe when I discovered this one isn't recorded yet.

I'll move us to Going Solo tomorrow, in case a DPL catches us here today. Like you said, Trollope can be popular!

Hi, I'm just checking in because you haven't heard from me. I recorded some chapters but didn't like them, so I started over. I'm still on it, though!
