Description

"The Duke's Children" by Anthony Trollope is a compelling and poignant novel that delves into the complexities of family, love, and society's expectations. The sixth and final installment in Trollope's Palliser series, the story continues the saga of the Palliser family and the challenges they face in navigating the upper echelons of Victorian society. At the heart of the novel is the Duke of Omnium, Plantagenet Palliser, a statesman who has dedicated his life to public service. As the Duke's children come of age, they must grapple with their own desires and aspirations, while also contending with the weight of their noble heritage.

Author

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) spent his days as a Post Office surveyor and his early hours at the novel — a clerk's discipline that produced an English county of clergy and a later London of money. Barchester Towers is the church as weather: preferment, gossip, a bishop's wife. The Way We Live Now is the same eye on speculation and the social lie. He wrote without apology for the method. Church, vote, and marriage sit in the same air.
