Publisher's Synopsis
Can you lead and still be a gentlemen?
Plantaganet Palliser, Prime Minister of England--a man of power and prestige, with all the breeding and inherited wealth that goes with it--is appalled at the inexorable rise of Ferdinand Lopez. An exotic impostor, seemingly from nowhere, Lopez has society at his feet, while well-connected ladies vie with each other to exert influence on his behalf--even Palliser's own wife, Lady Glencora. But when the interloper makes a socially advantageous marriage, Palliser must decide whether to stand by his wife's support for Lopez in a by-election or leave him to face exposure as a fortune-hunting adventurer.
A novel of social, sexual and domestic politics, The Prime Minister raises one of the most enduring questions in government--whether a morally scrupulous gentleman can make an effective leader.
