Loewenstein, M.D. "The Way We Live Now" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written during the late 19th century that delves into the intricacies of society, morality, and human relations in Victorian England. At its center is Lady Matilda Carbury, a woman striving to secure her and her children's future amidst the complexities of love, ambition, and financial instability. The narrative explores themes of social status, literary aspirations, and the interplay of wealth and character. At the start of the novel, Lady Carbury is introduced as a determined writer, penning letters to several editors in hopes of garnering support for her latest literary work. As the story unfolds, we learn about her relationships with her son, Sir Felix Carbury, who is frivolous and deeply in debt, and her daughter, Henrietta, who appears more virtuous and grounded. The opening chapters outline Lady Carbury's desperate attempt to navigate the male-dominated literary world and secure a position of respect while grappling with her family's financial troubles and Sir Felix's pursuit of wealth through marriage to an heiress. With a cast of characters including editors and socialites, the narrative sets the stage for an intricate exploration of societal expectations and personal ambitions.
