Before Sir Florian Eustace dies, he gives his beloved wife Lizzie a beautiful and expensive diamond necklace valued over £10,000. Dispute soon rages between the Eustace family and the manipulative and conniving Lizzie: it's claimed that the diamonds are a precious family heirloom, but Lizzie argues they were a gift. Is she lying? As the family's lawyer determines to reunite them with the jewels, Lizzie resorts to increasingly desperate measures, until one day the jewels are stolen. Who is responsible? The third novel in Trollope's Palliser series, The Eustace Diamonds is a wonderfully absorbing blend of dark cynicism and humor.

"The Eustace Diamonds", published in 1872, is the third novel in Anthony Trollope’s Palliser Series. A huge book with lots of characters and multiple plot threads has at its centre the impressive literary creation of Lizzie Eustace. Though in some ways similar to other Trollope novels, this work is much more cynical and dark when compared to the author’s other efforts."The Eustace Diamonds" is a satirical study of the influence of money on marital and sexual relations. The story follows two contrasting women and their courtships. Lizzie Eustace and Lucy Morris are both hampered in their love affairs by their lack of money. Lizzie’s trickery and deceit, however, contrast with Lucy’s constancy. Trollope was understood to be commenting on the malaise in Victorian England that allowed a character like Lizzie, who marries for money, steals the family diamonds, and behaves despicably throughout, to rise unscathed in society.Novels in the Palliser series:1- Can You Forgive Her? (1864)2- Phineas Finn (1869)3- The Eustace Diamonds (1873)4- Phineas Redux (1874)5- The Prime Minister (1876)6- The Duke's Children (1879)The series overlaps with Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire, also a series of six novels, which deal with life in the fictional county where the Palliser family is politically important.

The Eustace Diamonds is one of the best novels by Anthony Trollope, a story that was published in 1871 and enjoys great popularity even nowadays. The third novel in Trollope’s Palliser series, the chapters of the novel published in the form of weekly series kept Trollope fans on the edge, waiting for the next installment of the story and this immense popularity brought about the publication of the novel in book form soon after the last chapter came out. The story centers on Lizzie Greystock, a woman who seduces the ailing Sir Florian Eustace and soon becomes a wealthy widow. The diamonds from the title are in a necklace left by Sir Florian to Lizzie to wear. Lizzie refuses to return the necklace to its lawful heirs after her husband’s death and lies to her late husband’s relatives about how she came into the possession of the jewel.Lots of other characters are introduced, too – guests at Lizzie’s home, the lawyer of the Eustace family, Lizzie’s maid and her potential suitors. The diamonds disappear, first being hidden by Lizzie, then really stolen, the police being confused in the beginning, but gradually unraveling the mystery of the lost stones. She must confess everything eventually, but she is not punished, what’s more she even gets married to a foreign clergyman.The story is complex to an extent that it sometimes becomes confusing, but it all becomes disentangled by the end. The best way to summarize what motivates the characters in the story is they are driven by human nature – nobody in the book is purely good or purely evil, everyone is flawed, but has good qualities as well. All these flaws and all these qualities generate lots of deeply human, sometimes funny, sometimes condemnable situations, but they also make for an exciting story full of detours and a partially satisfying solution at the end.
