Críticas:
'[A] mesmerising and exhilarating novel' -- Guardian 'The wealth of detail - of the smells and tastes, of food and fashions - which runs through her account brings the Napoleonic era pungently to life ... By focusing on a figure all too often overlooked in biographies of England's most quoted admiral, she makes even well-worn facts fresh and interesting.' -- The Times '[A] fine novel ... Recommended.' -- Daily Mail 'Excellent material in the hands of a good storyteller.' -- Daily Telegraph
Reseña del editor:
In a farmhouse near Calais, a lonely English girl pieces together the life of the legendary Admiral Nelson - the loving godparent she learnt was actually her father only after his death. What no one tells Horatia is that the woman who has led her into exile, Nelson's mistress Emma Hamilton, is also her mother. In this absorbing, poignant novel, an intimate light is cast on the most celebrated couple of their age. But while Nelson and Emma's story of extraordinary success and grand passion ends in heartbreak, the tale of their secret daughter becomes one of spirited survival.
