About this listen
Exclusively from Audible
Who owns the Eustace Diamonds? Lizzie Eustace claims that Sir Florian Eustace, her late husband, gave them to her. But Mr. Camperdown, the family solicitor, insists that they are an heirloom, to be passed down from generation to generation. Lizzie is both beautiful and clever, yet Mr. Camperdown believes her to be a scheming liar. And Mr. Camperdown is right! The battle for the diamonds rages until a robbery intervenes and they disappear. Or do they...? Will the scheming and manipulative Lizzie ever get what she deserves?
The third and least political in Trollope's six-volume Palliser series, this audiobook features a most remarkable heroine. Humorously cynical, Trollope shows his insight into human nature, painting each character's flaws. But how will their flaws determine their fate?
Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular and prolific novelists of the 19th century and his work is considered some of the greatest fiction of the era.

Obviously the novel and Trollope are brilliant too, but this experience is enhanced 100% by the superb performance of Timothy West. This is not just narration, but performance and noone can do more justice to Trollope than him. What a very pleasurable experience.
Brilliant!

If you could sum up The Eustace Diamonds in three words, what would they be?
Can't be done.What other book might you compare The Eustace Diamonds to, and why?
Vanity Fair, probably, because of the similarity between the ( anti) heroines and the entertainment value.Have you listened to any of Timothy West’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, I have not, but on the back of this one I will be looking out for other books he's read.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, though I also wanted to savour it in small bites...Any additional comments?
This really is a very enjoyable book and reading - Timothy West's lovely fruity voice and slight suggestion of ham are perfect for what is a cracking story.Fantastic!
