Summary:

In Regency London, the only way for a woman to succeed is to beat men
at their own game. So when Mary Anne Clarke seeks an escape from her
squalid surroundings in Bowling Inn Alley, she ventures first into
the scurrilous world of the pamphleteers. Her personal charms are
such, however, that before long she comes to the notice of the Duke
of York. With her taste for luxury and power, Mary Anne, now a royal
mistress, must aim higher. Her lofty connections allow her to
establish a thriving trade in military commissions, provoking a
scandal that rocks the government - and brings personal disgrace. A
vivid portrait of overweening ambition, MARY ANNE is set during the
Napoleonic Wars and based on du Maurier's own great-great -
grandmother.
