(4,543 Sterne; 70 Bewertungen)

The Prime Minister is the fifth in Trollope's series of six Palliser novels. With Phineas' difficulties resolved, Trollope introduces new characters. A respectable young girl forsakes the man her family had always intended her to marry when she falls in love with a man of foreign extraction and an unknown family. He has a gentleman's education and manners, but his family background and financial means are mysterious. Is he really a gentleman? Meanwhile, Plantagenet Palliser becomes Prime Minister of a shaky coalition government, and Glencora and Madame Goessler are busy with the ensuing social obligations. (Summary by Karen Merline)

PROBLEMS OF THE UPPER CLASS

(5 Sterne)

Not the strongest of the series, but still very good. Two suggestions to improve the book. First, since Emily was obviously dropped on her head at birth, have some circumstance drop her on it again and reverse the damage. Second, have Mr Sly walk arm in arm with Mr Lopez to the train depot.

The Duke finally learns...

(5 Sterne)

The Duke is too noble and upright and as a result is not as good as he could or should be. It is a great story with great characters.

Love this Series- Amazing Author and great Readers - Thank You
