Anthony Trollope's satire of Victorian society includes the trials and tribulations of young love, the pettiness of upper class life, the raw energy and excitement of the most powerful city the world had ever seen, and the greed and corruption that lay just below its glittering surface. In 1870's London, the news that financier Melmotte is moving to England causes a stir.
"This epic tells the tale of a society in turmoil, where money, power and corruption are the order of the day. Set in the railway boom of the 1870s, it contains all the elements that made Trollope the most popular novelist of his day, the trials and tribulations of young love, the enduring values of honourable men."
