A review by lectriza
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope
2.0
I'm so deeply unsatisfied with how things ended up. I wanted more from Marie and Mrs. Hurtle!! They deserved better. Tbh if the novel could be rewritten so Marie is the protagonist and she and Mrs. Hurtle become besties and take on America as independent women, it would be much improved.
Also I despise Paul with the hatred of a thousand white hot suns and I can't believe he gets off so lightly. What a spineless loser, the fact that the narrator sympathizes with and makes excuses for him really ticks me off.
Overall I can't shake the feeling that this book was basically Discount Dickens. Need to cleanse my palette by reading some genuine Dickens
