    About this audiobook

    Phineas Finn, a handsome young man of twenty-three, comes to England to make his fortune in parliamentary politics. However, despite all his aspirations, Finn is haunted by ethical questions as his personal convictions conflict with his duty towards his party. Loyalty versus honor, love versus money, and privacy versus prominence: our eponymous hero faces a variety of dilemmas as he navigates his way through the House of Commons.

    The second installment of Trollope’s celebrated Palliser series, Phineas Finn is a delightful and humorous look at the complexity of human relationships and the politics surrounding the Second Reform Bill of the 1860s.

    Anthony Trollope

Trollope was employed as a postal surveyor in Ireland when he began to take up writing as a serious pursuit, publishing four novels on Irish subjects during his years there. In 1851 Trollope was travelling the English countryside for work when was inspired with the plot for The Warden, the first of six novels in what would become his famous The Chronicles of Barsetshire series. Trollope eventually settled in London and over the next thirty years published a prodigious body of work, including Barsetshire novels such as Barchester Towers and Doctor Thorne, as well as numerous other novels and short stories. Trollope died in London 1882 at the age of 67.

    • 5/5
      The weaving of Trollope's pen through English and Irish society; as well as social class and reform during Victorian England. Following Phin through his 5 years in the House was itself a study in English history.
    • 5/5
      Another magnificent novel by the author who never disappoints, the most under-rated English novelist, Anthony Trollope.

      Wonderful narration. Great command of accents. So enjoyable. We'll done
