Emma

Synopsis

History has produced few women as fascinating as the auburn-haired beauty Emma, Lady Hamilton, who captured the heart of England's greatest admiral, Lord Nelson. Warmhearted, impulsive, amoral, she distributed her favors generously, mistaking gratitude and affection for love, rising with each of her "protectors" to her ultimate position of power in the glittering court at Naples-- until she at last met the one man she was to love intensely and forever. If ever two lovers were destined for each other, they were Emma Hamilton and Horatio Nelson, that passionate, brilliant woman, and that dynamic, heroic man. "You, my beloved Emma," Nelson once wrote her, "and my country, are the two dearest objects of my fond heart. All I have ever wanted in this world, have ever asked, ever sought, is one true heart. That I found in Italy, in my own dear Emma's beloved breast." Her love for Nelson was equally intense, and together they shared a romance all-consuming in its power. Across the prosaic pages of history the lovely Emma cast her glow. Her warmth and charm are here superbly portrayed by a writer who proves once again, as he did in his earlier bestseller, The Emperor's Lady, his immense gifts for capturing the essence of a living, exciting woman. Mr. Kenyon has been a successful writer since his first published story appeared in a New Zealand magazine in 1938. Born in England in 1912, he moved to New Zealand as a boy. His writing has included numerous radio plays, short stories, and magazine pieces. The Emperor's Lady was his first published novel, followed by Royal Merry-Go-Round.
