The Prime Minister
by Anthony Trollope
“In the ruthless arena of Victorian politics, the ultimate power is also the ultimate burden.”
Plantagenet Palliser has reached the pinnacle of British power, but leading a fragile coalition proves to be a soul-crushing test of integrity and endurance. As political rivals circle and social scandals threaten his equilibrium, the Duke must navigate a web of intrigue where the greatest enemy is his own self-doubt.
