Description

The New York Times bestselling novel about scandalous secrets and star-crossed lovers. Watch the new original series Belgravia only on EPIX.

On the evening of 15 June 1815, the great and the good of British society have gathered in Brussels at what is to become one of the most tragic parties in history - the Duchess of Richmond's ball. For this is the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, and many of the handsome young men attending the ball will find themselves, the very next day, on the battlefield.

For Sophia Trenchard, the young and beautiful daughter of Wellington's chief supplier, this night will change everything. But it is only twenty-five years later, when the upwardly mobile Trenchards move into the fashionable new area of Belgravia, that the true repercussions of that moment will be felt. For in this new world, where the aristocracy rub shoulders with the emerging nouveau riche, there are those who would prefer the secrets of the past to remain buried . . .

    The book was a little slow at the beginning, however, after the stage was set it was very interesting with wonderful complex characters as only Julian Fellows can bring to life.

    Light story in the spirit of regency romance. Covers the period of 1815-1840 with a twenty-five year pause. Involves a degree of Upstairs/Downstairs with a mix of the rising middle class and aristocracy. Characters are sketched in with little real depth. Motives seem very much one track. And it all ends happily ever after. The villains or most of them are punished and the good rewarded.
