Anotace
Lizzie Eustace is young, beautiful, and widowed. Her determination
to hold on to a fabulous necklace in the face of legal harassment
by her brother-in-law's solicitor entangles her in a series of
crimes - apparent and real - and contrived love-affairs. Her
cousin, Frank Greystock, loyally assists her, much to the distress
of his fiancée, Lucy Morris. A pompous Under-Secretary, a neurotic
American society belle, a brutal knight, and a shady Scottish
radical peer are only some of Trollope's engaging and revealing
characters in this melange of detective story, political novel, and
ironic romance. The Eustace Diamonds (1873) is the third in the
Palliser series. Though often considered the least political of the
six, it is a highly revealing study of Victoran Britain, its
colonial activities in Ireland, India, and Australia, and its
veneration of wealth.
