"The Duke's Children" by Anthony Trollope is a novel first published between 1879 and 1880. The Duke of Omnium faces devastating loss when his wife dies unexpectedly and his government falls. Left to manage his grown children alone, he confronts unexpected challenges: his daughter's love for a modest gentleman, his eldest son's political defection and romance with an American heiress, and his younger son's academic troubles.
