The Eustace Diamonds - Anthony Ed Trollope

The Eustace Diamonds is a novel by the renowned English author Anthony Trollope. The book is part of the Palliser series, which follows the political and social life of the aristocratic Palliser family. The story revolves around the character of Lizzie Eustace, a young widow who inherits a valuable diamond necklace from her late husband. Lizzie is determined to keep the diamonds at all costs, even if it means lying and manipulating those around her. However, her plans are complicated when she becomes embroiled in a love triangle with two suitors, Lord Fawn and Frank Greystock. As the story progresses, Lizzie's lies and deceit begin to catch up with her, and she must face the consequences of her actions. The novel explores themes of greed, love, and morality, and is considered one of Trollope's most popular works.The general belief which often seizes upon the world in regard to some special falsehood is very surprising. Everybody on a sudden adopts an idea that some particular man is over head and ears in debt, so that he can hardly leave his house for fear of the bailiffs--or that some ill-fated woman is cruelly ill-used by her husband--or that some eldest son has ruined his father; whereas the man doesn't owe a shilling, the woman never hears a harsh word from her lord.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
