Een grandioze roman van de man achter Downton Abbey Op een steenworp afstand van Buckingham Palace, achter de deuren van Londens meest imposante huizen, hebben schandalen en intriges vrij spel. Op 15 juni 1815 organiseerde de hertogin van Richmond in Brussel een groots bal ter ere van de hertog van Wellington.
