The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope
4.0
Trollope does it again, he grabs me while he starts a story and doesn't let me go until the end. I love how he treats women, not as damsels in distress but as people with their own agenda even if it's one a bit limited by the society views.
I've read three so far this year and I feel this one is the best. The interactions, the relationships and how everything turns out was such a delight to read.
Been reading it along with a bunch of people and it was great comenting and enjoying each character. That Felix is despicable is the only thing we all agree on but all the other characters are nuanced and have different ways to get understood.
I, for that matter, loved the American widow, Mrs Hustle and her tempestous temperament. I do wish her well in her new endeavours.
