About this listen

When the liberal government falls and neither party is able to form a cabinet, Plantagenet Palliser is called upon to lead a coalition government. He is reluctant at first, and displays none of the charisma of his predecessors, but eventually he grows into the role. However, his confidence is short-lived as he becomes embroiled in a scandal involving the villainous Ferdinand Lopez - unintentionally brought about by Lady Glencora Palliser.

Pronounced "a beautiful book" by Leo Tolstoy, The Prime Minister is a superb portrait of marriage and politics, and the compromises necessary for success in both. It is the fifth novel in Trollope's Palliser series.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Beautifully read. A Victorian take that takes one back to a rural great time in British history.

Excellent narrator but I got rather lost in the parliamentary goings on. The tangled story of Emily was well read and conveyed the situations very well

didn’t like Glencora’s Scottish accent and Mrs Goestlet wasn’t foreign enough. Otherwise very enjoyable overall

I’ve wanted to read this for years. But I got so far and lost interest. Oh dear. A good reading but the story didn’t grab me. Maybe it’s me

I’m sad to say that I found it hard work
