A great story, well written, easily read. Jane Digby was an independent thinking, well travelled, highly liberated woman of the world. The author, Margaret Fox Schmidt, vividly yet sensitively portrays the world in which Jane lived – the historical content alone makes the book a worthwhile read. The demonstrated respect for and understanding of cultural differences also makes the book a must for Anglo Saxons who want to understand more about the mysterious world of our middle eastern neighbours.

Review: Beautifully written account of the amazing and intrepid life of the honorable Jane Digby. This account is a wonderful addition to the taste of Jane one is permitted in the Wilder Shores of Love and does much to support further insight into the free-wheeling, but carefully aimed dalliances of Jane’s great grandniece, Pamela Digby-Churchill-Hayward-Harriman. Great read, 5 stars!

Jane Elizabeth Digby (3 April 1807 – 11 August 1881) was an English aristocrat, famed for her remarkable love life and lifestyle. She had four husbands and many lovers, including Lord Ellenborough, Governor-General of India, King Ludwig I of Bavaria and his son King Otto of Greece, Bohemian nobleman and Austrian statesman Prince Felix zu Schwarzenberg, and the Greek general Christodoulos Hatzipetros. She died in Damascus, then part of the Ottoman Empire, as the wife of Arab sheikh Medjuel el Mezrab, who was 20 years her junior.
