The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope
4.0
While there was much in this novel I did enjoy, I don't think it's my favorite Victorian read because comparably little happens and the plot is very much predictable.
On the other hand, I really did end up feeling sorry for Roger Carbury, one of the few decent characters (along with Hetta). Lady Carbury herself was amusing, while Felix was in need of a good hiding.
I do not think Melmotte's fate was taking the easy way out, but I was hoping for a greater pay off.
