Phineas Finn is the sequel to “Can you Forgive Her?” and the second novel in Trollope’s Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham. (Summary by Karen Merline)

The narrators on Librivox have differing styles, some of which I enjoy and some not. However, I was most impressed with the voice of Ed Meade - strong, masculine, clear and just the right tempo! Does anyone know anything of this fellow's background, age, career, etc? He made this book so much more enjoyable!

Why do so many readers read like there’s a comma after every five words? This always drives me to either use Siri to read the book online or just read it in an EPUB app. Clarity can be accomplished without being so pedantic.

The narration was only good with Simon Evers and Mil Nicolson . They are amazing readers. I had difficulty getting into this book as some of the other readers were difficult to listen to .

Very good book, but some of the readers are very unpleasent , particularly one. Thenkfully, he read very few chapters, and Inhope he won't be reading any from the next book.
