Lady Louisa Conolly, by George Romney, Lady Louisa Augusta Lennox 5 December Tea Lane GraveyardCelbridge. Aristocrats : Caroline, Emily, Louisa and Sarah Lennox - - Wow that was great fun. Tillyard does a terrific job of telling the stories of the lives of the Lennox sisters. The lives are eventful and full of human drama and historical interest. The book is absorbing and very entertaining but its not dumbed down or oversimplified. One little knitpicky detail, there are passages in French without translations in the text or in footnotes. I can read French but Aristocrats: Caroline this day and age I don't think its fair Louisa and Sarah Lennox 1740 - 1832 assume that all readers - even all readers of an 18th century history - will be able to do so. Still, that's knitpicking. Highly recommended. Although this a seriously well researched and written history of the four remarkable Lennox sisters, it reads just like a novel. I was gripped from page one. What lives they led, what people they met, what a fascinating, turbulent time to be alive! This is a portrait primarily of four sisters -- Aristocrats: Caroline, Emily, Louisa and Sarah Lennox -- who were the great-granddaughters of Charles II of England and a French noblewoman who became his mistress and whose son was named Duke of Richmond. The stories of their lives becomes a history of England and Ireland in the second half of the eighteenth century and the turn of the nineteenth. One sister married Henry Fox and was the mother to Charles Fox, both prominent politicians. One sister bore 22 children! One sister was wooed by the future George Louisa and Sarah Lennox 1740 - 1832. Later in her life that same sister divorced, a rare and scandalous occurrence at that time. During most of their lives they were writing to each Aristocrats: Caroline and those letters, along with a wonderful job of placing the sisters and their progeny in the context of their times, make for a wonderful book. It's also a nice corrective to all the Regency romances out there that give the impression that women had a lot more say in their lives at this moment of history. Even wealthy, aristocratic women had to navigate carefully and choose wisely in their husbands -- if they were allowed to choose at all. Here at Walmart.
