  • "The first of the Palliser novels, described by the author as 'a series of semi-political tales' in which we meet Plantagenet Palliser, Duke of Omnium, a very noble gentleman."@en
  • "Alice Vavasor cannot decide whether to marry her ambitious but violent cousin George or the upright and gentlemanly John Grey - and finds herself accepting and rejecting each of them in turn."@en
  • "Alice Vavasor cannot decide whether to marry her ambitious but violent cousin George or the upright and gentlemanly John Grey - and finds herself accepting and rejecting each of them in turn. Increasingly confused about her own feelings and unable to forgive herself for such vacillation, her situation is contrasted with that of her friend Lady Glencora - forced to marry the rising politician Plantagenet Palliser in order to prevent the worthless Burgo Fitzgerald from wasting her vast fortune. In asking his readers to pardon Alice for her transgression of the Victorian moral code, Trollope created a telling and wide-ranging account of the social world of his day."
  • "As a scandalized Victorian society looks on, Alice Vavasor, Lady Glencora, and the Widow Greenow continue their romantic entanglements with disreputable suitors. Trollope deftly explores the tensions in Victorian society between reform and tradition, and the interplay between money, power, and politics."
  • "Alice Vavasor, a girl of independent spirit and means, is engaged to the "paragon" John Grey but, seemingly distressed by his perfection, she jilts him in favour of her less reputable cousin, George. Alice's story is interwoven with that of the early married life of her friend, Lady Glencora."@en
  • "Orpheline d'une mère fortunée, Alice Vavasor vit avec son père, un homme aigri qui bénéficie d'une sinécure dans un ministère. A 24 ans, elle vient de commettre pour la seconde fois un acte impardonnable : elle a rompu ses fiançailles."
  • "CAN YOU FORGIVE HER? is the first of the six Palliser novels. In this volume Trollope examines parliamentary election and marriage, politics and privacy. He dissects the Victorian upper class. Issues and people shed their pretenses under his patient, ironic probe. But it is on women and their predicament that Trollope particularly focuses. "What should a woman do with her life?" asks Alice Vavasor. And each woman, being different and unique, has her own answer, from the uncomfortably married Lady Glencora to the coquettish Mrs. Greenow, to Alice's clear-headed cousin Kate."
  • "Can You Forgive Her? (1864-65) is the first of the six Palliser novels which, as a group, provide us with the most extensive and contradictory expose of British life during the period of its greatest prestige. Alice Vavasor, a girl of independent spirit and means, is engaged to the "paragon" John Grey but, seemingly distressed by his perfection, she jilts him in favor of her less reputable cousin, George. Alice's story is interwoven with that of the early married life of her friend, Lady Glencora. Above all Trollope focuses on the predicament of women. "What should a woman do with her life?" asks Alice Vavasor of herself, and this theme is echoed by every other woman in the novel, from the uncomfortably married Lady Glencora to the coquettish Mrs. Greenow and Alice's clear-headed cousin Kate. - Publisher."
  • "Anthony Trollope's classic first novel in the Palliser series chronicles the exploits of Alice Vavasor, her cousin Glencora Palliser, and her aunt Arabella Greenow, and examines the role of women in nineteenth century England."
