Synopsis

On the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, two families meet at the Duchess of Richmond's Ball. From this moment on, their stories will be linked by a secret.

Julian Fellowes's Belgravia is a story in 11 episodes published week by week in the tradition of Charles Dickens.

Belgravia is the story of a secret. A secret that unravels behind the porticoed doors of London's grandest postcode. The story behind the secret will be revealed in weekly bite-sized instalments complete with twists and turns and cliff-hanger endings.

Set in the 1840s when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders with the emerging industrial nouveau riche, Belgravia is peopled by a rich cast of characters. But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. At the Duchess of Richmond's now legendary ball, one family's life will change forever . . .

Goodreads review by Sonia on August 02, 2017

Es el primer episodio de una novela por entregas del creador de Dowton Abbey. Este primer capítulo de la novela tiene 37 páginas y al ser solamente la introducción a la historia es un poco difícil valorarlo. La noche anterior a la batalla de Waterloo la duquesa de Richmond celebra una fiesta de gala,......more

Goodreads review by James on April 24, 2019

Ok so we are introduced to a few characters on the eve of the battle of Waterloo. Too early really to write a review... so far, I am reminded of Bernard Cornwell and Richard Sharpe more than of Downton Abbey.......more

Goodreads review by Emilija on December 24, 2017

I really enjoyed this! This is the exact time period I love, and Fellowes has an ability to really get into that time and make it feel real. It was incredible, and it really makes me want to read the rest of the series and discover more.......more

I was skeptical after reading all the reviews. Must say it was surprising and a good start to the story. Will have to get the full novel before I can really make up my mind.......more
