[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So odd that you posted this this morning. I was just thinking of The Way We Live Now series earlier today.

NP and hey, PP, were you on the "obscure celebrities you love" thread here? Someone mentioned David Suchet, and I chimed in that they should watch the miniseries of "The Way We Live Now"! Terrific version of the novel. Both resound with themes we still are dealing with today--sadly!

OP, you made my day. Seeing "Anthony Trollope fans" here among the Real Housewives etc. is both hilarious and so very right, somehow. Might he be writing about real housewives were he writing today?....I love all his novels that I've read (I haven't gotten to all the Palliser novels yet) but remember [i]The Warden[/i] and [i]The Eustace Diamonds[/i] with special fondness.

My late father-in-law was an English clergyman (though not Anglican), so the Barsetshire chronicles are all particularly dear to my husband, and we see a lot of my FIL in Mr. Harding. [/quote]

PP here - and I was on that thread! My contribution was Emilia Fox :-) - I am going to put on The Way We Live Now this drizzly afternoon.[/quote]

You inspire me. I'm going to go get out my "The Way We Live Now" DVDs....Such a terrific production. Matthew MacFadyen is deliciously louche and self-centered, and Shirley Henderson as hellion Marie is just--well, if they'd had "chef's kiss" back in Trollope's day, he'd have done one for her performance.[/quote]

I had no idea the Way We Live Now was a series!! How could I not have known that? What a discovery I am so happy![/quote]
