Helpful Score: 3
Excellent and highly readable book about a woman of great intelligence, beauty and spirit who had a lasting effect on the time in which she lived. This last cannot be said of many women of the time: unenfranchised, chattle of their husbands, restricted in their thoughts and movement in the world. Meanwhile, men held the political power as well as the domestic. Georgiana managed to enter a world in which she could could use her flair to become both politically influential and a star of society. Highly recommended - much less of a potboiler than the movie!
