"A first-rate example of a literary historical novel." -Regan Upshaw, San Francisco ChronicleIn his "Byron trilogy," Benjamin Markovits lovingly reinvents the nineteenth-century novel, true to its perfect prose, penetrating insight, and simmering passions. Inspired by the actual biography of Lord Byron-the greatest literary figure and most notorious sex symbol of his age-Markovits re-imagines Byrons marriage to the capable, intellectual, and tormented Annabella and the scandal that broke open their lives and riveted the world around them: Byrons incestuous relationship with his impetuous half-sister, Gus. Their very different understandings of love and ones obligations to society lead them all-and the reader-headlong to a devastating conclusion.
