Synopsis

What Started as a Love Match lit the fire of a Thirty-year War. 
In 1828, the beautiful Rosina Wheeler married one of Victorian England’s most successful and prolific writers, Edward Bulwer-Lytton. What followed shocked and entertained the public for over thirty years. 
After their marriage broke down, Rosina refused to be silenced. She pursued her husband with a single-minded and very public crusade to prove she was in the right. She even interrupted her husband’s election campaign to denounce him to the assembled voters. Edward responded by threatening to have her committed to a lunatic asylum. 
But that was only the beginning. 
The novel draws freely on Edward and Rosina’s own words. Both have a convincing story to tell - except that they disagree about everything…
