About this listen

Georgianna Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire, was one of the most captivating figures of her era. Her novel, shrouded in anonymity, is rich with autobiographical elements that intrigue readers. Initially attributed to contemporary authors like Sophia Briscoe or Fanny Burney, the Duchess ultimately confessed to crafting the tale of Julia Grenville, a Welsh beauty who marries an older man only to discover the shocking truth about her libertine husband. As she navigates the complexities of London society, Julia is guided by a mysterious sylph—a man who watches over her and offers sage advice. This compelling narrative critiques the social landscape of London while reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there are good souls to light the way. - Summary by Stav Nisser.
