Way We Live Now

"I would recommend 'The Way We Live Now' - Trollope's 33d novel, written in 1873 and set in that same year. I would recommend it because it is very long (Trollope's longest) and very contemporary, despite its baronets and squires and rustics, and despite its penniless young women whose chief employment is husband-seeking, and its penniless young lords whose chief employment is heiress-hunting. If all this sounds as far as possible from the way we live now, think again; or else wait and see."Trollope, Anthony is the author of 'Way We Live Now', published 2002 under ISBN 9780142437131 and ISBN 0142437131.
