What makes this novel truly great is Trollope's ability to involve the reader in a lengthy and complicated story. Few other writers have Trollope's skill in creating a world that seems as true as our own. From the beginning of the story, we take an interest in the activities of the major characters and find ourselves thinking about them and their problems even after we have finished reading for the day. Trollope's characters are as real as our own family and we think of them as relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Often, we would like to step into the novel and discuss a pressing problem with a character.At the center of The Way We Live now is Augustus Melmotte, the financial wonder of the age who dupes investors with a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernard Madoff proud. All the characters in the novel are in Melmotte's orbit. He is the most important character in the story. When he departs, page 638 in my edition of the novel, all that is left is to tie up loose ends, and there are many of them. Unfortunately, Trollope takes too long to do so, at least in my opinion. That is the only weakness in what otherwise is a great novel.Few authors have ever described so accurately and well the lives of the ruling class in England. Readers of George Eliot's Middlemarch, or Thackeray's Vanity Fair, or perhaps Dickens' Bleak House and Little Dorrit will certainly want to include these great novelists in the discussion of true artists who create an unforgettable world of the imagination. Trollope not only belongs in this august company, in some ways he is superior to it. Readers of Middlemarch surely will wish to argue with me. Yet Trollope has few equals when it comes to dramatizing the ordinary events of everyday life. His description of each scene is so complete and accurate and his dialogue so real that for the time we are reading we lose any sense of distance as a reader and, as noted earlier, become involved as if we ourselves were a character in the story.I had just finished reading five of Trollope's Palliser novels and decided to take a break from this series before starting The Duke's Children, the final Palliser novel. The Way We Live Now came higly recommended by both professional critics and Amazon reviewers. I add my voice to the chorus of Trollope admirers and enthusiastically recommend The Way We Live Now to all lovers of Victorian literature. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Allegorical Historical Trollopian Masterpiece *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2020* This is a great book, very appropriate for the way we live now, today, in America. The more things change... there are quotes that could be printed in the paper today and you would think it was about American politics. I was expecting a lovely Trollopian escape but I got much more than that. There are of course love stories that end sweetly, throughly bad young men, quiet heroes and all sorts of schemes that must unravel. I do think this is one of his greatest works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great book *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2021* Everything arrived on time and as advertised --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/31345765-the-way-we-live-now-wordsworth-classics](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/31345765-the-way-we-live-now-wordsworth-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
