Beautiful, glamorous and charismatic, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, was an icon of her age; she wasl also a compulsive gambler, an influential political operator, a drug addict, a doting mother and an adulteress.
In a world of decadence and exces, of great houses, extravagant parties and sexual intriue, Georgiana, like her descendant, Diana, Princess of Wales, was publicly adored but perosnally troubled. From her complex menage a trois with her husband and best friend to her vast gambling debts; from her adoration of her children to her passionate but doomed love for Earl Grey, she was a fascinating, contradictory woman whose story still resonates today.
