What a wonderful adventure of a woman who does not back down, lay down or goes away. Rich in details that make the story come across so personal and vivid you can't help but keep reading well into the night. The story will capture your sense of indignation and cheer when all is righted. Beautifully written and richly savored.
Mary Anne was Daphne du Maurier's great-great-grandmother. This is a novel about Mary Anne's life. She married a ne'er do well and later became mistress to a royal duke. She became part of a scandal that shocked England's staid Victorian society. I truly enjoyed this book although it became very legal towards the end. I give this story an A!
