Originally published as Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire, this is a biography of a fascinating woman of the 18th century, the great, great, great, great aunt of Princess Diana. The time period is the French Revolution when the aristocracy inherited wealth, gambled, used drugs, alcohol and were promiscuous.
There is a lot of discussion about politics and power. All the demons of yesteryear have not rested. This is an interesting look back at history.
