Phineas Finn the Irish Member by Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882)Author: LibriVox
Phineas Finn is the sequel to Can you Forgive Her? and the second novel in Trollopes Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham. (Summary by Karen Merline)This is the second of Trollopes six Palliser novels.
