Byron in Love
Edna O'Brien2009

Lord George Gordon Byron was the first literary rock star, a fallen angel whose flaws were redeemed by his magnetism, heroism and tragic destiny. He had many diverse and colourful lovers - of both sexes - in his life, but it was the love triangle with his wife and half-sister that earned him timeless notoriety.

Edna O'Brien's rich and intense portrait follows the passion of Europe's ultimate Adonis from Regency London to the wilds of Albania and pleasures of the Mediterranean. This is a scandalous, remorseless tale of the poet as rebel - imaginative, lawless and defiantly immortal.
