Descripción

Sarah Lennox was the great-granddaughter of Charles II, though his youngest bastard son, the Duke of Richmond. She was the daughter and sister of dukes, and her big, lively family was connected, by blood, marriage, friendship, or politics, with half the establishment of England and Ireland.Afer some episodes of scandal, ostracism, and divorce, all of which Lady Sarah endured with uncomplaining good grace at thirty-six, she married George Napier, a soldier from a family even older and more distinguished than her own, and realized that till then she "never knew what real happiness was." The Napiers had eight children, generously endowed with their parents' intelligence and good looks, and their five sons made great careers as soldiers and scholars.The story of Sarah Napier's long life (1745-1826) and of her family's deep involvement in their turbulent times is retold in this masterly biography by Priscilla Napier (who married one of Lady Sarah's descendants). 366 pages + plates index.
