A Sunday Times bestseller - Five women. One extraordinary history. One house.
Anna Maria, Elizabeth, Augusta,Harriet, and Nancy were five ladies who, over the course of three centuries, shaped British society through their beauty, personalities, and political influence. From its construction in the 1660s to its heyday in the 1960s, Cliveden played host to a dynasty of remarkable and powerful women. Restoration and revolution, aristocratic rise and fall, world war and cold war form the extraordinary backdrop against which their stories unfold.
An addictive history of the period and an intimate exploration of the timeless relationships between people and place, The Mistresses ofCliveden is a story of sex, power and politics, and the ways in which exceptional women defy the expectations of their time.
