The Prime MinisterOxford University Press, 1991 - Počet stran: 819 Much against his will, the Duke of Omnium consents to lead a coalition government. The Duchess quickly becomes a social figure of great power: with abounding and sometimes indiscriminate hospitality she strives to consolidate his support. Together they make their way to the centre of society and, like Phineas Finn before them, they find it hollow. The novel is haunted by the mysterious Ferdinand Lopez. ... The Duke and Duchess cannot escpe his pernicious influence, but they survive it. Though their relationship is far from perfect, their love for one another is as convincingly and movingly portrayed as any in English fiction. -- Cover, page [4] |
