                                                                                                WHAT IS A WOMAN TO DO WITH HER LIFE?

That's the question Alice Vavasor asks.

What do you do when you've got two suitors -- and a Victorian world of trouble!

When the great Victorian novelist asks Can You Forgive Her? He is speaking of Alice, of course, who was engaged to her wild cousin George. Then she was engaged to John Grey, who wants to run for Parliament, but she broke that off as well.

In Switzerland, with George and his sister Kate, Fate takes a hand and she meets the vivacious Lady Glencora Palliser and her stolid politician husband, Plantagenet, there on their honeymoon. Glencora has just broken with her true passion, the irresponsible Bruno Fitzgerald and she's eager for a friendly shoulder to cry on.

When Plantagenet persuades John Grey to pursue his dream of Parliament, all Victorian heck breaks loose!

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas.
