The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope



Amazon | Project Gutenberg

Trollope's keen, low-key satire of 19th-century English high society and business centers around a wealthy financier of slightly doubtful origin, who nevertheless is able to persuade more and more prominent men to invest in his schemes, and whose daughter becomes the prize for those looking to make a wealthy match. Subplots and supporting characters also abound in this hefty, interesting Victorian novel.

My review of this book.
