The Duke's Children

In "The Duke's Children," Plantagenet Palliser grapples with the dual challenges of navigating family politics and coping with the loss of his wife and position as prime minister. As he strives to connect with his wayward children—Lord Silverbridge, who engages with an American heiress; Lady Mary, who loves a penniless gentleman; and Gerald, who mirrors his brother's behavior—the duke must confront his own pride to restore harmony within the household. This concluding installment of the Palliser saga offers a rich exploration of familial bonds and societal expectations, presented with over 65,000 words restored from the original manuscript.
