Anthony Trollope
This is a satirical look at immorality and dishonesty as Trollope saw them in the worlds of business, politics, journalism, literature, and society on his return from the colonies in 1872. Scoundrels, coquettes, swindlers, and intriguers abound in this novel, which is often called his masterpiece.

Great book, uneven narrator

Contrary to an earlier reviewer's comment, I think it is clearly wrong based on this novel to state that Trollope was anti-semitic. Certain of the characters display very sharp, almost absurd anti-semitic views. Yet it is the Jewish banker, Mr. Breghert, who is one of the nobler characters in the story. You should also be prepared for the anti-American views expressed by many of the English characters in the story. Here again, however, one of the nobler and most interesting characters in the novel is the American, Mrs. Hurtle.
Trollope is one of the Greats!

But the real difficulty for me was the narrator's voice and reading cadence, which was VERY annoying and unenjoyable.
Good story, terrible narrator

Flo Gibson is not a favorite narrator of mine, and she read this one at even more of a gallop than usual -- but this somehow suited the novel's tone and helped ease the more tedious passages. As other reviews point out, Trollope expresses the contemporary antisemitism, but I also wonder if in THIS novel he is not also satirizing his society's anti-semitism along with classism? I'm not sure ---This is where print pages are useful in examining and referring back to the tone and attitude of passages.

One of the greatest

One caveat, though, like many British writers of his time, Trollope has clearly anti-semitic views. Not as vile or extreme as Shakespeare or Dickens, but the implicit and casual anti-semitism might be unacceptable for some readers. I am jewish and I can deal with it, but I can imagine others finding it intolerable.

What would have made The Way We Live Now better?
I could not understand much of what the narrator was saying. I quit after 7 chapters and downloaded a different version.What could Anthony Trollope have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The book is probably fine. I need to listen to a different narrator.How could the performance have been better?
The narrator goes too fast and has too much variety in her loudness. I could not understand most of it, and could not hear some.Could not finish

Flo Gibson is a very good narrator but she read with a peculiar rhythm which I found distracting. Also, the quality of the recording was a disappointment, with the volume fluctuating and the voice frequently sounding muffled. I have noticed this flaw with other Flo Gibson recordings (eg. Mill on the Floss).
