Summary:
Lady
Almina
and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story behind Highclere Castle, the real-life inspiration and setting for Julian Fellowes's Emmy Award-winning PBS show, and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants: Lady
Almina
, the fifth
Countess
of
Carnarvon
. Drawing on a rich store of materials from the archives of Highclere Castle, including diaries, letters, and photographs, the current Lady
Carnarvon
has written a transporting story of this fabled home on the brink of war. Much like her Masterpiece Classic counterpart Lady Cora Crawley, Lady
Almina
was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Alfred de Rothschild, who married his daughter off at a young age, her dowry serving as the crucial link in the effort to preserve the Earl of
Carnarvon
's ancestral home. Throwing open the doors of Highclere Castle to tend to the wounded of World War I, Lady
Almina
distinguished herself as a brave and remarkable woman. This rich tale contrasts the splendor of Edwardian life in a great house against the backdrop of the First World War and offers an inspiring and revealing picture of the woman at the center of the history of Highclere Castle.
