Synopsis:

Fun-loving yet indiscreet, flirtatious yet vulnerable, beautiful yet insecure, Maria Teresa, Duchess of Alba, captured the hearts of those who were close to her. From Manuel Godoy, Duke of Alcudia, to Francisco de Goya, Chief Court Painter, and even King Charles IV himself, Maria Teresa bewitched them all. But infuriated the Queen. In this brilliant first novel, Anne Bruck combines fact with fiction to recreate events as they might have been at the court of King Charles IV of Spain. Crackling with wit and insight, The Painted Duchess is a wonderful evocation of a fascinating period and adds another dimension to Goya's Maja.
