More about the book

The life of Frances Burney showcases her remarkable journey from an uneducated girl to a celebrated author. After overcoming her initial struggles with literacy, she began writing journals and eventually published her first novel, Evelina, in 1778. Despite her literary success, she faced personal challenges, including a demanding role at the royal court and health issues. Her marriage to General Alexandre D'Arblay and the birth of their son marked significant milestones. Burney's resilience shone through her experiences, including a mastectomy without anesthesia, and she continued to share her captivating stories until her death in 1840.
