He Knew He Was Right by Anthony Trollope
4.0
4.5 Stars
I enjoyed this book a lot. The main plot focuses on the marital trouble of a young couple because of the husband's jealous demands for the wife's obedience. The novel was published in the late 1800's and many have said that it feels like a more modern Othello. The main story was sad and a bit drawn out. I was left thinking some good marriage counseling would set these two straight. This main plot was surrounded by several much more charming stories. Altogether there are five different marriages the reader learns about. Excited to explore more by this author. Loved that I regularly needed my dictionary because of the exposure to all sorts of new vocabulary.
