Dobson tells the life of Frances Burney, later Madame d’Arblay, beginning with the musical Burney family and their house in St Martin’s Street. He follows the secret writing and sudden success of Evelina, the fame of Cecilia, the years of drudgery as Keeper of the Robes to Queen Charlotte, and her long later life, drawing on her diaries.
