More about the book

Frances Burney's life story unfolds from her challenging beginnings, marked by self-education and a passion for writing despite familial disapproval. She gained recognition with her novel "Evelina" in 1778, leading to a position at the royal court, which strained her health and creativity. Her marriage to General Alexandre D'Arblay and the birth of their son brought new joys, but personal losses and health struggles, including a mastectomy, shaped her later years. Burney's legacy includes her novels and captivating storytelling, as she remained a cherished figure in her family's life until her death in 1840.
