It is a fact not generally known that William Thackeray based the heroine Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair on the notorious aristocrat and sometime courtesan Henrietta Lightfoot, whose scandalous memoirs have recently been discovered in an attic...' Born 1772 the illegitimate daughter of the 4th Earl of Stavourley, and his mistress, the courtesan, Kitty Kennedy, Henrietta lives with her father and half sister in Melmouth Park. Henrietta is involved in a clandestine affair with her half sister's fiance, Baron Allenham. When she dies of a fever under suspicious circumstances, Henrietta elopes into the arms of her lover and asumes the alias of Henrietta Lightfoot,. But the Baron vanishes mysteriously, spurring Henrietta to embark on a life-changing quest to find her one true love. Her epic journey takes her through a Europe in turmoil, from the elite town houses and theatres of London, to the hedonistic Palais Royale in Paris, just as the city implodes into revolution. Find mystery, romance, jealousy, betrayal, and high adventure on Henrietta's road to power as she evolves from innocent, frightened victim into cunning mistress of the world...
