Hester Lynch Piozzi, once Mrs Thrale and Samuel Johnson’s close friend, wrote these letters to her younger confidante Penelope Pennington across more than thirty years after her second marriage. They are full of travel, illness, theatre, Bath and Welsh life, quarrels and reconciliations, and her sharp, playful voice on every page.
A delightful window on Georgian society for anyone who has enjoyed Boswell, Fanny Burney or Jane Austen’s letters. Download the free EPUB.
