"A first-rate example of a literary historical novel." -- Regan Upshaw, San Francisco Chronicle

In his "Byron trilogy," Benjamin Markovits lovingly reinvents the nineteenth-century novel, true to its perfect prose, penetrating insight, and simmering passions. Inspired by the actual biography of Lord Byron -- the greatest literary figure and most notorious sex symbol of his age -- Markovits re-imagines Byron's marriage to the capable, intellectual, and tormented Annabella and the scandal that broke open their lives and riveted the world around them: Byron's incestuous relationship with his impetuous half-sister, Gus. Their very different understandings of love and one's obligations to society lead them all -- and the reader -- headlong to a devastating conclusion.
