The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope
3.0

I enjoyed this book and it makes me want to read more by Anthony Trollope. I was impressed by the characterization and the psychological depth explored in each character. But I think that this book was too long, and many thoughts and dilemmas of the characters were repeated over and over again. Also I am not enamored by themes of class and wealth, more of gender and human psychology. There was a little too much of wealth and class, which is what this book is primarily concerned about to be fair, for me to fall in love with the story.
