About this listen
When Louis Trevelyan's young wife meets an old family acquaintance, his unreasonable jealousy of their friendship sparks a quarrel that leads to a brutal and tragic estrangement.
Often considered to be his masterpiece, Anthony Trollope's 1869 novel explores the themes of marriage, love, and the rights of women in 19th-century England.
With a cast of independent, forceful characters and lively subplots, Trollope creates a penetrating and often comic dissection of the mores of Victorian society.

Story
This comprehensive novel consists of three subplots which interlink to form the whole and supply a trio of targets at which Trollope aims his proselytising pen. The first treats on the courtship of a woman by a man whom she does not love and with whom she is not compatible. Mary Lowther will not accept such a marriage of dishonesty. The second deals with the plight of a young woman who has fallen prey to the wiles of an evil seducer and subsequently adopts a life of prostitution.

As Tom and his uncle had walked from Somerset House the streets were dry and the weather fine; but, as Mr. Dosett had remarked, the wind was changing a little out of the east and threatened rain.

A classic of alienation and horror, The Birds was immortalized by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of "Monte Verità" promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professional photographer steps out from behind the camera and into his subject's life.

Story
Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn't know it yet. Or at least he doesn't want to admit it. Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone - especially himself - didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.

Clever, Amusing and Witty
I confess that I like to get my money's worth from Audible (at least every other book) and, although some of Trollope's tomes have obvious padding, this one did not so much. To weave so many stories so well, with such insight and wit was impressive and very entertaining. The narration was,for the most part, excellent, failing only slightly to render the American dialect believable. This improved as the book progressed, however, which helped.[ I just wish the narrator would not represent same by dropping his timbre into a male range when relating American women.]

A great feminist novel
I'm so glad I delved into this - seemingly - little known Trollope treasure. Such a modern book for its time. Despite reaching a climax in the story several times with the same unfortunate resolution, the power of the writing sustains. Excellent narration from Nigel Patterson.

A masterwork by a master
This is one of Trollope's best known novels, and for good reason (even though he supposedly considered it a failure). A powerful and tragic story of a marriage gone off the rails. My only complaint is of the narrator's dreadful attempt at an American accent for the American characters.

Tedious!
I’ve been reading Trollope for 45 years, so I consider myself a super fan, but this study in sexual jealousy is tedious and dreary. There is little plot and the love stories are all predictable. There is a tiny bit of excellent comic relief. I only finished this because I’m stubborn. The narration was very good.

I enjoy Trollope ' s storytelling style. Complex characters and always a mix between tragedy and a happy ending.
Well made recording. Very enjoyable.

Trollope delivers again
I like Trollope stories for their ability to give me many different stories rolled into one. This one delivers that as usual. An argument between two fools who never learned to communicate becomes tedious however. Neither one willing to give an inch leads to a tragic and completely predictable outcome. Thank god for the other stories woven into this book because they are what kept me reading. I honestly couldn’t care less about Louis and his wife after a few hours. That kind of pigheadedness has no redemptive qualities. Nigel Patterson does a fair job of narrating, but he’s no Timothy West.

Sympathy for human dilemma
Most of his books delve deeply
into the relationship between
men and women often exploring
laws attitudes passions beliefs
literally tearing people apart

A husband drives himself mad with jealousy
Making the subject of a character's psychology the subject of the novel represents an unusual approach for Trollope. In He Knew He Was Right the husband deludes himself into the certainty that his wife has betrayed him and he gradually slides into a devouring delusion that destroys his marriage, his life's normality, his body and, ultimately, his sanity. The husband's jealousy is baseless, but understandable. Trivialities are blown out of proportion by the husband's suspicion on and his wife's outraged dignity. He [or She] Knew He [She] Was Right is the awful knell that drives so many people over the edge. Trollope effectively presents the seeming logic of the sundered couple, each of whom feels certain of his/her righteous position. Over and over again, neither husband nor wife can make the ultimate sacrifice and admit herself/himself wrong. The situation is torture, painfully depicted by Trollope. The emotional and psychological tug of war goes through many permutations until all reason is gone. In the end, Trollope cleverly lets us understand that both husband and wife have carried off his/her own conflicting and cherished delusion as confirmed belief.
