However, despite all his aspirations, Finn is haunted by ethical questions as his personal convictions conflict with his duty towards his party. Loyalty versus honor, love versus money, and privacy versus prominence: our eponymous hero faces a variety of dilemmas as he navigates his way through the House of Commons. The second installment of Trollopes celebrated Palliser series, Phineas Finn is a delightful and humorous look at the complexity of human relationships and the politics surrounding the Second Reform Bill of the 1860s. Naxos AudioBooks intends to release all six Palliser novels. Can You Forgive Her? was released in August 2017. All six novels of Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series have been read by David Shaw-Parker in unabridged format. David Shaw-Parkers reading perfectly captures the genial but acute voice of Anthony Trollope. |
