Overview

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. ¿ Naxos AudioBooks intends to release all six Palliser novels. Can You Forgive Her? was released in August 2017. ¿ All six novels of Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series have been read by David Shaw-Parker in unabridged format. ¿ David Shaw-Parker's reading perfectly captures the genial but acute voice of Anthony Trollope.

MARCH 2018 - AudioFile

If David Shaw-Parker isn’t the most subtly funny Duke of Omnium ever, let’s give up. The Duke’s self-important basso as he courts Madame Max seems to come out of his shoes, and it’s an amazing surprise, because by the time Omnium really enters the story, Shaw-Parker has created so many varied characters and voices that you can’t imagine he’s still got a trick you haven’t heard. PHINEAS FINN is a rich comedy of manners and politics. It is also every bit as much a marriage story as anything from Jane Austen, but with a young man from the provinces seeking advancement and security in a world where many women have more money and influence than he. This is a deliciously entertaining listen. B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2018 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
