The diamonds are coveted by many, including Lizzie's suitors, her family, and even the law.Lizzie is a complex character who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the diamonds, including lying, cheating, and manipulating those around her. She is pursued by several men, including her cousin Frank Greystock, the wealthy Lord Fawn, and the dashing adventurer, Lord George de Bruce Carruthers. However, Lizzie's true intentions and character are revealed as she tries to keep the diamonds and secure her own future.The novel is set in Victorian England and provides a fascinating insight into the social and political landscape of the time. Trollope's writing is witty and engaging, and he skillfully weaves together the different plot threads to create a compelling and entertaining story. The Eustace Diamonds is a classic of English literature and is a must-read for fans of Victorian novels and historical fiction.The general belief which often seizes upon the world in regard to some special falsehood is very surprising. Everybody on a sudden adopts an idea that some particular man is over head and ears in debt, so that he can hardly leave his house for fear of the bailiffs--or that some ill-fated woman is cruelly ill-used by her husband--or that some eldest son has ruined his father; whereas the man doesn't owe a shilling, the woman never hears a harsh word from her lord.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
