'Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you
can afford it.' It is impossible to be sure who Melmotte is, let
alone what exactly he has done. He is, seemingly, a gentleman, and
a great financier, who penetrates to the heart of the state,
reaching even inside the Houses of Parliament. He draws the English
establishment into his circle, including Lady Carbury, a 43
year-old coquette and her son Felix, who is persuaded to invest in
a notional railway business. Huge sums of money are at stake, as
well as romantic happiness. The Way We Live Now is usually thought
Trollope's major work of satire but is better described as his most
substantial exploration of a form of crime fiction, where the
crimes are both literal and moral. It is a text preoccupied by
detection and the unmasking of swindlers. As such it is a narrative
of exceptional tension: a novel of rumour, gossip, and misjudgment,
where every second counts. For many of Trollope's characters,
calamity and exposure are just around the corner.
