Description
“Can You Forgive Her?” is a novel written by the 19th-century English author Anthony Trollope. It was first published in serial form between 1864 and 1865 and later published as a two-volume novel. This work is the first book in Trollope’s Palliser series, also known as the Parliamentary Novels, which includes several interconnected novels.
The novel revolves around the character of Alice Vavasor and her romantic dilemmas. Alice is engaged to the respectable but unexciting John Grey, and the novel explores her internal conflicts as she grapples with the decision of whether to marry him or the more charming and reckless George Vavasor, her cousin.
As with many of Trollope’s works, “Can You Forgive Her?” provides a detailed and insightful exploration of Victorian society, including its social norms, politics, and the complexities of human relationships. The title itself suggests the theme of forgiveness and the moral choices faced by the characters.
Trollope’s novels are known for their character-driven narratives, social commentary, and keen observations of the human condition. If you enjoy Victorian literature and novels that delve into the intricacies of relationships and society, “Can You Forgive Her?” could be a rewarding read.
