HTML: British novelist Anthony Trollope is best known for chronicling many facets of family life and society in the fictional county of Barsetshire. Although An Eye for an Eye is not officially a part of the Barsetshire Chronicles, the novel explores many of the same issues that made that series so popular, including nuanced moral dilemmas and subtle shades of familial tension and discord. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Despite the misery of the plot, I found this novel a light, easy read. The characterization of Fred was well-done and by the time he reached his final decision I was ready to murder him myself. Jack, the brother, was a good foil and contrast and I wish there had been more of him and Sophie. The section where the Dowager Countess repents of her advice to Fred to abandon Kate (on religious grounds) was a nice touch. There was also a very sympathetic section where the narrator muses on the more terrible consequences women bear from sex outside marriage and how the treatment of "fallen women" is perhaps a deterrent but also very heartless.
Kate was the weakest character in the book and we saw nothing of her decision to sleep with Fred (understandable, given the book's publication date), but part of me wanted to ask her what on earth she was thinking! ( )
