Marrying the Mistress
Set in England, this story centers on Judge Stockdale who is in his 60ties, has two grown up sons and who also had a mistress on the side for 7 years. He decides he wants to start a new life and leaves his wife of 40 years to do the "honorable thing" and marry his mistress who is 30 years his junior. The sons and a daughter-in-law quickly side with the Father and even become friends with the mistress. This is a story of a dysfunctional family at its worse. With family members disloyality being so intense against the poor wife that it was beyond belief.
This is the first Trollope novel I have read and although she seems to be a popular writer in UK and a couple of her books turned into TV movies (Masterpiece Theater) this particular novel got very mixed reviews and I certainly can understand why. It seemed as if part of the story was missing. Why did everyone turn against the wife? What did she do in the past 40 years to warrant this shocking treatment by her family?
In summary, I doubt very much if I would bother reading another of Trollope's books.
