The French Revolutionary Wars have begun, and as fighting intensifies, Horatio is recalled to sea.
As the years pass and the war rages on, Horatio Nelson becomes a lauded hero, while Fanny loyally manages their affairs back in England. But Horatio's success in battle has changed him - he's proud, arrogant, bitter. How can a woman like Fanny, self-reliant but bound by 18th century attitudes, face down the Navy's superstar without losing everything?
A compelling exploration of duty in all its forms, Nelson's Folly is a sweeping, historically rich novel based on the true story of Horatio and Fanny Nelson and their lives together - and apart.
