With every revelation, the foundations of the afterlife begin to shift, and I am forced to confront a truth more powerful than fate itself. 

Can You Forgive Her? is the first of the six in the Palliser series. Trollope inextricably binds together the issues of parliamentary election and marriage, of politics and privacy.
