    "description": "When the glamorous Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, Countess of Bristol, went on trial at Westminster Hall for bigamy in April 1776, the story drew more attention in society than the American War of Independence.\nA clandestine, candlelit wedding to the young heir to an earldom,  a second marriage and an electrifying appearance at a masquerade ball in a diaphanous dress dress: no wonder the trial was a sensation. However, Elizabeth refused to submit to public humiliation and retire quietly.\nElizabeth led her life in the inner circle of the Hanoverian court and her exploits delighted and scandalised the press and the people. But her behaviour hid a more complex tale of personal tragedy and loss. \nNow, in this brilliantly told and evocative biography, Catherine Ostler takes a fresh look at Elizabeth\u2019s story and seeks to understand and reappraise a woman who refused to be defined by society\u2019s expectations of her.",
