This biography traces Emma's life from her birth as the daughter of a Cheshire blacksmith, through her glittering success in Naples society as the wife of Sir William Hamilton, and her famous romance with Lord Nelson, to her death as a pauper in Calais. Flora Fraser vividly conveys the allure of this legendary beauty and the spirit of the world in which she shone.
