This For Caroline: A portrait of Lady Caroline Lamb (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780854954193)

An enthralling historical novel about the life of Lady Caroline Lamb! Perfect for fans of Tracy Chevalier, Maggie O'Farrell, Hilary Mantel and Margaret George.

An impetuous young noblewoman scandalises high society...

London, 1795

Beautiful and unpredictable, Caroline Ponsonby defies convention from a young age. Enchanting and infuriating in equal measure, the hot-headed young woman leaves an indelible impression - whether good or bad - on everyone she meets.

When she meets future prime minister William Lamb, the pair fall irrevocably in love, but even marriage cannot tame Caroline's wild ways. And when she catches the eye of the dashing Lord Byron, it's a match made in hell...

Soon the name of Lady Caroline Lamb is on everyone's lips as her tempestuous affair with the up-and-coming poet shocks Regency society. But their dalliance is short-lived, as Byron soon tires of her extreme moods and unpredictable ways.

When she's cruelly cast aside, Caroline is broken in two ... and her marriage is tested to the utmost as she exacts a scathing revenge on her former lover...

Has Caroline gone too far this time? Can William find a way to forgive her scandalous actions?

And as Caroline's obsession grows more self-destructive by the day, can anything - or anyone - save her from spinning out of control?

THIS FOR CAROLINE is a captivating historical novel set in Regency England about a woman who defied convention to live life on her own terms.

'Several biographers have portrayed Caroline Lamb, but it has taken one of our most lively historical novelists to bring her completely to life in this rollicking romance' - Books and Bookmen

'A portrait, vivid, sympathetic, persuasive of that madcap (to choose the mildest term) Lady Caroline Lamb.' - SCOTSMAN
