Duke's Children

Almost since his first appearance in Trollope's novels, Plantagenet Palliser has been accompanied by his effervescent wife Lady Glencora. As the final Palliser installment begins, she has been cruelly taken from him by fatal illness, just as their three children are making their way in the world and finding marriage partners. The loves of his eldest son and only daughter in particular trouble him deeply.As the series concludes, Trollope gathers up themes from earlier Palliser novels: forgiveness, constancy, the maturing of youth. The manuscript shows Trollope made rare cuts, often restoring back-references to the earlier novels.Perfect for readers who love sweeping Victorian sagas filled with political intrigue and family drama!
