Interesting biog about this unfortunate young lady who was cast aside by her mother, then pursued and hounded for most of her life by person or persons who should have known better, namely Lady Byron. Keen to read Medora's autobiog now in her own words, although there's no really happy ending to this sad tale. Recommend if you're interested in women's history, or Byron miscellanea, or both like me!

A sad account of what happened to Byron's illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth Medora Leigh, and a disturbing portrait of her mother, Augusta Leigh, a woman who thrust two of her daughters under the nose of a monster.

Alot of interesting detail on Byron's life and love affairs. Good read.
