Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough has been the subject of biographies,yet little is known about her cousin, Abigail Hill - named 'that enchantress' by Queen Anne - the girl who the Duchess boasted she had 'raised from the dust' and who outrivalled her for the Queen's favour. She began as a lady's-maid and rose to become the power behind the throne and her influence secured not only the downfall of the man she loved but also of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. The detail of the settings - the graceful formal life of Anne's Court, the bawdy boisterous life of the streets, the petty intrigues, savage feuds and corruptions of the Whigs and Tories - form an almost fantastic background for the story of the girl who decided the history of Europe. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/dvd-favourite-olivia-colman-emma-stone-rachel-weisz/
