Reason read: 1st Quarter Read, Reading 1001
This is a story of epic study of pride, forgiveness and its lack, and pathological jealousy. Trevalyn could be diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder. The story has many characters and subplots and I read that Trollope did not really like this story. I think the many characters and subplots were stronger than the main story or at least gave the reader relief from the irritating Louis. This was a retelling of Othello/Shakespeare.

It's a bit long and albeit that an easy, quick read. The characters are very real, the plot is very complete and the story is flawless. Will check out other books by the author!

I truly enjoyed this book and finished it early than I excepted because I really wanted to see how it turned out. I love Trollope’s sense of droll sense of humor and the many wonderful characters he created. I look forward to reading more by him.
Trollope's views on a woman's place (and his caricature of a harping American feminist) occasionally dampened my enjoyment of an otherwise engrossing and comfortingly familiar Victorian door-stopper.
