      ''An incredible story crackling with royal passion, envy, ambition and betrayal ... A tour de force'' Lucy Worsley

      Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, was as glamorous as she was controversial. Politically influential and independently powerful, she was an intimate, and then a blackmailer, of Queen Anne, accusing her of keeping lesbian favourites - including Sarah''s own cousin Abigail Masham.

      Ophelia Field''s masterly biography brings Sarah Churchill''s own voice, passionate and intelligent, back to life. Here is an unforgettable portrait of a woman who cared intensely about how we would remember her - perfect for fans interested in the history behind the award-winning film starring Rachel Weisz with Olivia Colman and Emma Stone.
