A review by amlibera
The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope

4.0

Done! I have to say that this is not my favorite Trollope novel that I have read. At a certain point, I became heartily sick of Lizzie Eustace and stopped reading for months. I think that mostly because what I enjoy about Trollope is not the incident as much as his character studies. He does women in particular really well and there is insight into the mind of the Victorian woman that Trollope himself may not have even been directly aware of. Lizzie Eustace is her own worst enemy --so much so that she isn't quite as true to life as others of Trollope's women. But I'm glad that I read it and I look forward to more Trollope in the nearish future.
