'She liked lies...To lie readily and cleverly, recklessly and yet successfully, was, according to the lessons which she had learned, a necessity in a woman' Lizzie Eustace is young, beautiful, and widowed. Her determination to hold on to the Eustace family's diamond 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, Tory MP and struggling barrister, loyally assists her, to the distress of his fianc???e, Lucy Morris. A pompous Under-Secretary of State, an exploitative and acquisitive American and her unhappy niece, a shady radical peer, and a brutal aristocrat are only some of the characters in this, one of Trollope's most engaging novels: part sensation fiction, part detective story, part political satire, and part ironic romance. The Eustace Diamonds (1873) belongs to Trollope's Palliser series. Though often considered the least political of the six novels, it is a highly revealing study of Victorian Britain, its colonial activities in Ireland and India, its veneration of wealth, and its pervasive dishonesty.

The Eustace Diamonds is the third volume in the Palliser series of novels by Trollope. It tells the story of the lives of mostly upper class society in Victorion England. In a very entertaining fashion these series of books describe a world where England and it's empire ruled most of the world- and this world revolved around and for the benifit of the British upper class. I recommend this book not just to enjoy a very, very good book-but I recommend the reader compare the people described in this book with the people in our time and place. The time and place have changed, but have the people changed?
