"Phineas Redux" by Anthony Trollope. ****

  • Audiobook
  • English author
  • Originally published 1874
  • Review:   The Palliser series continues in "Phineas Redux", and Phineas Finn continues to try and find his way through the maze of governmental politics.  This installment sees him come within an inch of his life, loved by two women, and revered solely for his legal status.  Trollope makes his ongoing statement regarding the absurdity of politics when Phineas is offerred a significant government position primarily because of his notoriety.  Oh Phineas, Phineas! Such an iconic, yet laughable and lovable character!
