About this audiobook
Plantagenet Palliser finally ascends to the highest office in the land, becoming Prime Minister at the head of a fragile coalition government. While he struggles with the immense burdens of leadership and the intricacies of holding a cabinet together, his wife, Lady Glencora, seeks to cement their power through lavish social maneuvering. A parallel plot involves the romantic misfortunes of Emily Wharton, whose disastrous marriage to an adventurer serves as a dark counterpoint to the political narrative. The novel offers a detailed examination of the intersection between public duty and private happiness.
