A review by jayshay
Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope

I so much wanted to throttle Finn, but in an engaging way. Loved the politics and the many characters around Finn, especially the women who inexplicably loved him. Madame Goesler! Violet! But Violet slaps him down which means she wins the novel! Though the dude she ends up with...

Oh, and 'nice' Finn is give the unimportant job of getting railroads to unify Canada. So the nice character makes Canada in a throw away 'nice Canadian' joke! :) thanks Trollope!
