Trollope began writing historical romances under the pseudonym of Caroline Harvey, the first names of her father's parents. She formed the view that: "It was the wrong genre for the time."<ref name="Allardice" /> Encouraged by her second husband, [[Ian Curteis]], she switched to the contemporary fiction for which she became known.<ref name="Das">{{cite news|last=Das|first=Lina|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/joanne-trollope-marriage-breakdown-relief-could-tell-people/|title=Joanna Trollope: My marriage breakdown was a relief – I could tell people I was in turmoil|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=13 May 2017|access-date=23 March 2019}}</ref> ''The Choir'', published in 1987, was her first contemporary novel.<ref name="Quindy" /> ''The Rector's Wife'', published in 1991, displaced [[Jeffrey Archer]] from the top of the hardback bestseller lists. As an explanation, she said in 2006: "except for thrillers there was nothing in the middle ground of the traditional novel, which is where I think I am."<ref name="Allardice" /> In 1992, only [[Jilly Cooper]]'s ''Polo'' and Archer's ''[[As the Crow Flies (novel)|As the Crow Flies]]'' were stronger paperback bestsellers. "I think my books are just the dear old traditional novel making a quiet comeback", she told [[Geraldine Bedell]] in a 1993 interview for ''The Independent on Sunday''.<ref name="Bedell" />
Often described as [[Aga saga]]s, for their rural themes, only two of Trollope's novels (by 2006) actually feature an [[AGA cooker|Aga]].<ref name="Allardice" /> The term's entry in ''[[The Oxford Companion to English Literature]]'' (2009) states that "by no means all her work fits the generally comforting implications of the label".<ref name="Birch" /> Rejecting the label as not being accurate, Trollope told Lisa Allardice, writing for ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2006: "Actually, the novels are quite subversive, quite bleak. It's all rather patronising isn't it?"<ref name="Allardice" /> Allardice disputed the "cosy reputation" Trollope's books had acquired as her novels had "tackled increasingly thorny issues including lesbianism, broken families and adoption, the mood growing darker with each novel."<ref name="Allardice" /> [[Terence Blacker]], who coined the term for Trollope's fiction in ''Publishing News'' in 1992,<ref name="Birch">{{cite book|editor1-last=Birch|editor1-first=Dinah|editor2-last=Drabble|editor2-first=Margaret|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6jicAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA43|title=The Oxford Companion to English Literature|location=Oxford, Oxon & New York City|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2009|page=43|isbn=978-0-19-280687-1}}</ref> admitted a decade later that he "felt terribly guilty" for lumbering Trollope with the phrase.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gibbons|first=Fiachra|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/may/30/books.guardianhayfestival2003|title=Queens of the bonkbuster and Aga saga defend the art - and heart - of their fiction|work=The Guardian|date=30 May 2003|access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Blacker|first=Terence|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/terence-blacker/aga-saga-may-be-my-phrase-but-its-not-my-style-106885.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220609/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/terence-blacker/aga-saga-may-be-my-phrase-but-its-not-my-style-106885.html |archive-date=9 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title='Aga saga' may be my phrase, but it's not my style|work=The Independent|date=31 May 2003|access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref> Trollope told Bedell in 1993 that her fiction does "the things the traditional novel has always done" by mirroring reality and exploring "people's emotional lives". Bedell observed that her novels until then were:
<blockquote>never suburban, which is the real condition of most of England. Trollopian action takes place in large village houses, at vast kitchen tables; her doctors, vicars, solicitors and craft-gallery owners may worry about money, as her own parents did, but they don't have any social anxieties: they are invited for drinks at the big house as a matter of course. The books are as economically prestigious, and quite as aspirational in their own way, as the glitter blockbusters of the Eighties.<ref name="Bedell" /></blockquote>
In 2009, she donated the short story ''The Piano Man'' to Oxfam's '[[Ox-Tales]]' project, four collections of UK stories written by 38 authors. Trollope's story was published in the 'Water' collection.<ref>[http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/content/books/books_oxtales.html Ox-Tales] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718005818/http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/content/books/books_oxtales.html |date=18 July 2011 }}, [[Oxfam]], UK.</ref> She wrote the first novel in HarperCollins updating of the [[Jane Austen]] canon, ''The Austen Project''. Her version of ''Sense and Sensibility'' was published in October 2013 with limited success.

==Reviews== ''A Spanish Lover'': In ''[[The New York Times]]'' Betsy Groban wrote, ″Her story is filled with lively, astute and always affectionate insights into the abiding issues of marriage, motherhood and materialism, not to mention the destructive power of envy and the importance of living one's own life. ″<ref>{{cite news|last1=Groban|first1=Betsy|title=A Spanish Lover|work=The New York Times|date=6 April 1997}}</ref>

If I was any one of the characters imprisoned in the murky jelly of this novel, I'd be straight on to the Adoption Agency, demanding to be re-settled with another creator.

Trollope appeared on a 1994 edition of the radio programme ''[[Desert Island Discs]]''.
