About this listen

In 1875, Sisi, the Empress of Austria is the woman that every man desires and every woman envies.

Beautiful, athletic and intelligent, Sisi has everything - except happiness. Bored with the stultifying etiquette of the Hapsburg Court and her dutiful but unexciting husband, Franz Joseph, Sisi comes to England to hunt. She comes looking for excitement and she finds it in the dashing form of Captain Bay Middleton, the only man in Europe who can outride her. Ten years younger than her and engaged to the rich and devoted Charlotte, Bay has everything to lose by falling for a woman who can never be his. But Bay and the Empress are as reckless as each other, and their mutual attraction is a force that cannot be denied.

Full of passion and drama, THE FORTUNE HUNTER tells the true story of a nineteenth century Queen of Hearts and a cavalry captain, and the struggle between love and duty.

Critic Reviews

'Timeless, tantalising and ultimately, hugely satisfying. A terrific novel' (Richard and Judy, Richard and Judy Book Club)

'Wonderful characters, completely assured writing and feel for the hunting milieu and above all such fun. It's going to be a giant hit' (Amanda Craig)

'Daisy Goodwin has triumphed again. In THE FORTUNE HUNTER she weaves a rich and textured tale of desire and ambition. Sizzling with energy and passion on every page, Goodwin's characters compel the reader to fall in love with them' (Amanda Foreman)

'A sumptuous, scrumptious confection, with country houses, Austrian Empresses and Victorian glamour galore' (Lucy Worsley)
