      FROM THE CREATOR OF DOWNTON ABBEY and THE GILDED AGE 'A modern classic that will fill any Downton-shaped hole' Daily Express It is the evening of 15 June 1815, and the Duchess of Richmond has thrown a magnificent ball in Brussels for the Duke of Wellington. The guests include James and Anne Trenchard - who have made their money in trade - along with their beautiful daughter Sophia.
