It was the divorce that scandalized Georgian England....
She was a spirited young heiress. He was a handsome baronet with a promising career in government. Their marriage had the makings of a fairy tale but ended as one of the most salacious and highly publicized divorces in history.
For over 200 years the story of Lady Worsley, her vengeful husband, and her lover, George Maurice Bisset, lay forgotten. Now Hallie Rubenhold, in her impeccably researched book, throws open a window to a rarely seen view of Georgian England, one colored by passion, adventure, and the defiance of social convention. The Worsleys' story, their struggles and outrageous lifestyle, promises to shock even modern audiences.

I hadn't realized just how acceptable sexual 'dangerous liaisons' and illegitimate children were so common among the Elite of their day. Some of the young Seymour pranks indicate the self centered essence so common to the teens and early twenties. while amusing to hear of, there was a real lack of awareness of consequences to others.
Both parties in the match struggled with the lifetime of stigma left as a result of their behaviors, and the inclusion of the ongoing effects was a good addition to the story.
Reader was clear and good, story dragged a bit in places but had a good balance of details d dates to story develop.ent
