About this title

Synopsis

Anthony Trollope's stock-in-trade was the life of the great drawing rooms of mid-Victorian England, where the thirst for wealth and political power and the need for love continually formed and reformed in unexpected, illuminating combinations.  Can You Forgive Her?, the story of Alice Vavasor, her conundrums in love, and her confusions about the rights and duties of a modern, is the first novel in his magnificent Palliser series; it is energized on every page by the affectionate and ironic delight Trollope felt in observing the entanglements of his splendid characters.

He published more than forty novels and many short stories that are regarded by some as among the greatest of nineteenth-century fiction.
