AN ADMIRABLE WIFE : The Life and Times of Frances, Lady Nelson
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This is the story of the other woman in Nelson's life - the woman who waited patiently year after year for him to return from the wars only to be cruelly rejected in favor of his mistress. Unlike the depiction of Fanny as cold and unresponsive by Nelson's biographers, this enthralling biography of his wife takes a close look at the hundred or so letters she wrote to him that reveal a woman of strong character; caring, warmhearted and sympathetic, with a keen sense of humor and a deep and abiding love for her husband.
