Phineas Finn
A young Irish barrister with charm, no money and a seat handed to him by a patron arrives at Westminster, where the price of office is voting with the party against his own conscience on Irish tenant right. Three women in London and one waiting at home in County Clare complicate the arithmetic. The second Palliser book, and Trollope's closest account of how parliamentary ambition actually works.
