The Eustace Diamonds
The beautiful, unscrupulous Lizzie Eustace clings to a fabulously valuable diamond necklace she may have no right to keep, spinning lies and schemes as lawyers, suitors, and thieves circle around her. Part of the Palliser series, Trollope’s novel is a wickedly entertaining study of a charming liar and the society that half-admires her. Blending crime, comedy, and sharp social satire, The Eustace Diamonds follows its anti-heroine with irresistible relish. Witty, worldly, and psychologically acute, it is one of Trollope’s most enjoyable novels—a glittering tale of greed and deception anchored by one of Victorian fiction’s most memorable and gloriously wayward women.
