I just finished my first Trollope, all 736 pages, and I couldn't put it down. Melmotte reminded me of financiers like Trump and Madoff. The descriptions of how people think and how they make decisions are acute. The author allows the reader to enter into the minds as well as the emotions of his characters, as well as giving the flavor of the life and customs of the time.
