Text of Note

"Jane Maxwell, the fourth Duchess of Gordon, was one of the most influential women of her time - a patroness of poet Robert Burns, advisor to King George and friend to Queen Charlotte, the mastermind behind her husband's political success, and rival of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire. Rich in historical detail, passion, and intrigue, Ciji Ware's Island of the Swans paints a fascinating portrait of one of the most celebrated and controversial beauties of eighteenth century England. Spirited and charming, Jame captured the heart of her childhood sweetheart, Thomas Fraser, while her beauty caught the eye of his rival, Alexander, Duke of Gordon. Torn between duty and love, Jane is thrust into a lifelong love triangle that would threaten to destroy all that she holds dear"--Page 2 of cover.
