'Eustace Diamonds' Summary
In Anthony Trollope's *The Eustace Diamonds*, Lizzie Greystock, a cunning and ambitious woman, marries the sickly Sir Florian Eustace for his fortune. After his death, she becomes a wealthy widow, but her true nature—a love for deception and self-interest—is laid bare. The book centers around the titular diamonds, a family heirloom Lizzie attempts to keep despite her lack of legal claim. While navigating social circles and searching for another wealthy husband, Lizzie's lies and manipulations begin to unravel, bringing her into conflict with the Eustace family and their lawyer, Mr. Camperdown. *The Eustace Diamonds* is a biting social commentary on the Victorian era's obsession with wealth, marriage, and appearances, exploring themes of greed, morality, and the consequences of deception.Book Details
