'It covers three centuries of high living, high politics and high
drama [...] it is so fascinating' MEL SYKES
_____________________________ A Sunday Times bestseller Five women.
One house. One extraordinary history. Even today, Cliveden retains
its royal mystique - it is where Meghan Markle and her mother spent
the night before the royal wedding - but 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 were five ladies who, over the course
of three centuries, shaped British society through their beauty,
personalities, and political influence. Restoration and revolution,
aristocratic rise and fall, world war and cold war form the
extraordinary backdrop against which their stories unfold. 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 exceptional women defy the expectations of their time.
