Lady Worsleys Whim by Hallie Rubenhold
In February 1782, England opened their newspapers to read the details of Sir Richard Worsley vs George Maurice Bisset, a Criminal Conversation trial in which the aggrieved Sir Richard attempted to sue his wife's lover for an astronomical GBP20,000 in damages. This book presents a picture of aristocratic life in the Georgian era.
