Can You Forgive Her? (Thrift Editions) - Softcover

"Anthony Trollope knew more about women than any other novelist of his time" (Joanna Trollope)

"He is not a soothing writer at all, in fact he's rather subversive. Nobody gets away with anything in Trollope" (Victoria Glendinning) --Victoria Glendinning

"Trollope is wonderful, a major novelist, a joy... particularly admire his empathy with his characters, and the way in which he describes women...unique among male novelists, better even than Henry James, in his ability to enter the lives of women characters, and women on their own" (P.D. James) --P.D. James

"Pithy and pungent, almost like Jane Austen" (Amanda Craig) --Amanda Craig

The first of the highly popular "Palliser" novels introduces characters who will recur throughout the long-running series. Focusing on the matrimonial prospects of three Victorian ladies, the delicious satire also addresses parliamentary politics. Trollope's 1864 tale remains remarkably contemporary in its portrait of a society in which money and influence form a more certain path to power than wisdom or integrity.
