A remarkable read! Regency readers take note, with the beautiful pictures and regency information, this is one non-fiction deserving of your attention. 

Georgiana mesmerized me just as quickly and as easily as she did her peers long, long ago. The first thing we not only learn, but may also attract us to her, is that Georgiana was the great great great great aunt of Diana, Princess of Wales, but the second thing we learn is that Georgiana was a well-loved famous person in her own right. 

Georgiana came from a rich family; her father, a temperamental man, inherited a multi-million dollar estate when he was only eleven. Although she was one of three children, she was her mother's favorite. As an adult, Georgiana is committed to a marriage for family reasons. She has two daughters and a son who becomes partially deaf.  Her biography is very in depth about her marriage, her children, her political life, her vices, and her extra-curricular activities. 

Here's a chance to experience the real regency era and to meet a captivating woman. Amanda Foreman leaves no stone unturned. She has successfully given us a comprehensive biography that takes us back to a romantic time and to a family that lived in the center of it all.
