Summary

When the liberal government falls and neither party is able to form a cabinet, Plantagenet Palliser is called upon to lead a coalition government. He is reluctant at first, and displays none of the charisma of his predecessors, but eventually he grows into the role. However, his confidence is short-lived as he becomes embroiled in a scandal involving the villainous Ferdinand Lopez - unintentionally brought about by Lady Glencora Palliser.

Pronounced "a beautiful book" by Leo Tolstoy, The Prime Minister is a superb portrait of marriage and politics, and the compromises necessary for success in both. It is the fifth novel in Trollope's Palliser series.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent narrator

Excellent narrator but I got rather lost in the parliamentary goings on. The tangled story of Emily was well read and conveyed the situations very well

The Prime Minister

Beautifully read. A Victorian take that takes one back to a rural great time in British history.

I’m sad to say that I found it hard work

I’ve wanted to read this for years. But I got so far and lost interest. Oh dear. A good reading but the story didn’t grab me. Maybe it’s me
