All fiction is character-driven, according to William Bernhardt, despite what you might have heard elsewhere. If your characters don’t interest readers, even the most exciting plots will fail. “Action is character,” Aristotle wrote, but what does that mean, and how can you use that fundamental principle to create dynamic fiction that will captivate readers? This audiobook explains the relationship between character and plot, and how the perfect melding of the two produces a mesmerizing story.

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. The values and aspirations of the governing stratum of Victorian society are ruthlessly examined, and none remains unscathed. But above all Trollope focuses on the predicament of women. 'What should a woman do with her life?' asks Alice Vavasor of herself, and this theme is echoed by every other woman in the audiobook.

"Daniel Matamala ingresa, con la lucidez que lo caracteriza, al territorio siempre necesario de la deconstrucción inteligente de las tramas en que se articulan las elites políticas y económicas. Unas tramas que permiten leer un tejido social donde el poder del dinero avanza sobre el poder político para contaminarlo. La reunión de columnas que el libro presenta permite leer cómo operan los privilegios múltiples e incesantes que posibilitan que la ley se retire de las zonas más privilegiadas o trabaje débilmente, o sencillamente no opere." (Diamela Eltit)
