This is one of the strangest love stories in history, played out against the fascinating background of high political life in London and Europe, and the glittering social worlds of Chatsworth and Devonshire House.
Beautiful and highly intelligent, Lady Elizabeth Foster became involved in a long and passionate liaison with the Duke of Devonshire while enjoying an equally passionate friendship with his enchanting wife, Georgiana. Both women bore the Duke's children, and both experienced secret backstreet births abroad.
The story of their extraordinary menage, which lasted until Georgiana's death when Elizabeth married the Duke, is a picture of 18th century high society at it most complex and colourful.
