|  | The Prime Minister by Anthony Trollope, David Skilton, Flo Gibson, Hector Whistler, Jennifer Uglow
The fifth of the six Palliser novels , THE PRIME MINISTER covers the period in which Plantagenet Palliser reluctantly leads the country in a three-year coalition government. Despite his wife's efforts to consolidate his base of support, he is too sensitive, diffident, and uncompromising to make a successful prime minister. Threaded into the political narrative is the story of the corrupt Ferdinand Lopez, a mysterious figure of dangerous influence and dubious background. The Prime Minister has a more gentle vein of humor than the earlier novels, but its subtle chiding of Parliament and the society surrounding it is an irrefutable criticism of the hollowness at the center of the system. AUTHOR: Anthony Trollope, David Skilton, Flo Gibson, Hector Whistler, Jennifer Uglow
