Synopsis

Like Princess Diana, her direct descendent, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire was beautiful, glamorous and adored by the public. But while her beauty and charisma made her a household name, one thing always seemed to escape her: love.
Beneath Georgiana's glamorous facade lay an intelligent, vulnerable woman stranded in a loveless marriege to the Duke, one of the richest men in England. Frustrated by the limitations imposed on her by virtue of her sex and her class, she rebelled, entering into intense relationship with the beautiful Lady Foster, thereby setting up a complex menage a trois with the Duke. Georgiana's rebellion extended to the public spere where she tore down the conventions, becoming a political campaigner for the liberal party. In so doing she fell for Earl Grey, the future Prime Minister, finally discovering the meaning of true love. But could true love survive the strictures of the Duke, of Bess and of Society - the pressures of marriage and motherhood, of friendship and loyalty, of class and celebrity?
What followed was tragic, but Georgiana's unquenchable spirit sustained her and, unlike Diana, she ultimately found peace...
