“A Sunday Times bestseller – Five women. One house. One extraordinary history. From its construction in the 1660s to its heyday in the 1960s, Cliveden has played host to a dynasty of remarkable and powerful women. Anna Maria, Elizabeth, Augusta, Harriet, and Nancy five ladies who, over the course of three centuries, shaped British society through their beauty, personalities, and their political influence. Restoration and revolution, aristocratic rise and fall, world war and cold war form the extraordinary backdrop against which their stories unfold. And when power, lust, and wealth came together, scandal invariably followed. An addictive history of the period and an intimate exploration of the timeless relationships between people and place. The Mistresses of Cliveden is a story of sex, power and politics and the ways in which these exceptional women manipulated the expectations of their time.”
