Description

MUTIPLE-AWARDS-WINNING AUTHOR
• READERS' FAVORITE 2020 GOLD MEDAL BOOK AWARD WINNER

Author Gretta Curran Browne takes much of her inspiration and detail directly from the letters, works, and diaries of Lord Byron, and it shows in every detailed facet of this excellent historical novel.
What really stands out to make this so much more readable than a simple biography is the artistic license used to bring Byron and his contemporaries to life, lighting them up with fantastic dialogue, beautiful views of Regency England and Europe, and the society-obsessed way of life that Byron often raged against in his own way.

I really appreciated the gossipy nature of the work and its focus on reputation and social standing, which will surely please fans of classics like the works of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. Overall, I would definitely recommend "A Runaway Star" to fans of the existing series, but also to anyone looking to enter the world of historical writing with an accomplished author. Reviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

With the instant success of his brilliant new works, THE CORSAIR (The Pirate) and its sequel "LARA", Lord Byron's literary fame as a poet of stature has spread to America and throughout Continental Europe... Mary Chaworth still invades Byron's thoughts, but two other women now seek to move her completely out of his way -- Miss Annabella Milbanke, who has now turned into a persistent letter-writer in the hope of renewing Byron's interest in her; and his half-sister, Augusta Leigh, who wishes only the best for him.

Lady Caroline Lamb finally sees a way to wreak her obsessive revenge on Byron, so damning and so unproven, it infuriates all his friends who rush to his defence, but the catastrophic aftermath rings down through history, destroying Byron's reputation, and almost destroying the man.
