Synopsis

‘It gives me great discomfort to tell you that realistically you must not stay here in Bath. You must vanish.’


Bath 1772

Elizabeth Linley, wildly famous, celebrated for her voice, charisma and beauty, painted by Gainsborough and Reynolds the most eminent artists of her day.

Events on the 18th March 1772, leave her no option but to weave herself through the intricate world of society dominated by The Prince of Wales and the scandalous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, the precarious nature of Garrick and Sheridan’s London theatre and the perils of political intrigue, manipulated by the rivalry between Charles James Fox and William Pitt.

Set in an age of revolution, this is a captivating story of love, ambition, jealousy and betrayal, based upon the true life of Elizabeth Linley.

If you enjoy the novels of Jane Austen and Thackeray's Vanity Fair, or films such as Barry Lyndon, The Duchess, and The Madness of King George, this book is the book for you.
