About this listen
Exclusively from Audible
Who owns the Eustace Diamonds? Lizzie Eustace claims that Sir Florian Eustace, her late husband, gave them to her. But Mr. Camperdown, the family solicitor, insists that they are an heirloom, to be passed down from generation to generation. Lizzie is both beautiful and clever, yet Mr. Camperdown believes her to be a scheming liar. And Mr. Camperdown is right! The battle for the diamonds rages until a robbery intervenes and they disappear. Or do they...? Will the scheming and manipulative Lizzie ever get what she deserves?
The third and least political in Trollope's six-volume Palliser series, this audiobook features a most remarkable heroine. Humorously cynical, Trollope shows his insight into human nature, painting each character's flaws. But how will their flaws determine their fate?
Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular and prolific novelists of the 19th century and his work is considered some of the greatest fiction of the era.

Loved this !
If you wish to hear a damming indictment of the class system done with subtlety and panache this is it. I wish modern writers would do as well.

strangely entertaining
The main character is Lizzie and she is horrid and yet I still felt compelled to listen to the end. Enjoyable. quite involved and complicated, but still enjoyable. and with each chapter, i disliked her more and more. cant believe she just kept on getting away with her deviousness

Timothy West and Trollope - Perfection!
The best possible reader reading an all-time favourite author. Timothy West really is Trollope for me now - he truly loves and embodies the characters as he portrays them.

Brilliant!
Timothy West is brilliant.
Obviously the novel and Trollope are brilliant too, but this experience is enhanced 100% by the superb performance of Timothy West. This is not just narration, but performance and noone can do more justice to Trollope than him. What a very pleasurable experience.

brilliantly read
This is not the greatest of Trollope's novels but it is well worth reading or listening to. Timothy West, as always, reads beautifully.

The Eustace Diamonds
Timothy West has such subtlety and humourous nuance flowing from his brain to his vocal chords that he could read a train timetable and I would probably be interested for ten minutes at least. It is wonderful to have a reader of such skill to present the various works of Trollope for the first time, for me at least. Now I see where Joanna gets it. An enthralling look at what people of a certain class were up to in England in the 1860's. Flawless reading, and nice and long.

Top story
The Eustace Diamonds must be one of Trollope's best, entertaining and subtle from beginning to end. And in Timothy West we have the perfect reader. If you don't enjoy this reading of Trollope then you are not meant for one another.
