"A brilliant and glittering jewel of a novel.I was wholly swept away by this story."--Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Queen's Fortune "A tale of daring and determination, set against the glamorous heights and the harsh restrictions of aristocratic society in the middle years of the British nineteenth century." --Sir Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey From one of the most famous former members of the British royal family, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York--a mesmerizing novel of a young noblewoman's coming of age that richly details both high society and low in Victorian England. Lady Margaret Montagu Scott, the second daughter of the Scottish Duke of Buccleuch, a close friend of the Queen, is expected to make an advantageous marriage. But Margaret is an impulsive and outspoken girl in a repressive society where women are, quite literally, caged in corsets and required to conform. When Lady Margaret's parents arrange a society marriage for her, she tries to reconcile herself to the match.
