Daphne duMaurier wrote this novel based on the written records of her great-great-grandmother Mary Anne Clarke, mistress of the Duke of York, an uncle of Queen Victoria. It's a good story, especially in the first half, and worth reading about every 50 years (as I did!). It wasn't a great sales success for duMaurier, but even these duMaurier "failures" are worthwhile.
