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?
