Description

April 1848. Europe in the flames of Revolution. The 19-year-old daughter of England’s greatest living author lies dying alone in a boarding house in Brompton. All the dreams of her short life shattered, a clandestine visit by the mother she has not seen in 10 years leaves her dead - her story forgotten, her mystery unsolved. Henry Lytton Cobbold breaks into the mausoleum at Knebworth House – literally – to uncover the life and death of the first of his ancestor Edward Bulwer Lytton’s forgotten children... and finds a remarkable girl whose story is more dramatic and gothic than the most sensational of her father’s bestsellers. A bittersweet exploration into a real-life Victorian melodrama, blending original letters and manuscripts, modern detective work, humour and a deftness of touch with the dark truths of a heartbreaking family tragedy. Complete Illustrated Edition. Hardback. Two Volumes. Full Colour. 465 Images. Includes Previously Unpublished Letters, Prints and Photographs.
