| book description |

'Bold, bewitching and a touch dangerous - like Lord Byron himself' Benedict Allen 'Hugh Thomson is a mesmerising storyteller' Sara Wheeler ‘Harnesses Byron’s wayward, swashbuckling energy. It is a joy….’  The Spectator ‘Literally fabulous! Unmissable…’ Joanna Lumley What would have happened if the poet Lord Byron had not died an early death in Greece? But instead had lived - and then some - by doing what his letters show he always wanted to do. Escape to South America with the great last love of his life, Countess Teresa Guiccioli, and help Simon Bolivar liberate it from the Spanish. This great sweep of a novel imagines just that and takes the poet and his lover into a New World of the Americas where nothing is ever quite as they expect.
