Book Description
On the night of 4 April 1793, two lovers were preparing to compel a cleric to perform a secret ceremony. The wedding of the sixth son of King George III to the daughter of the Earl of Dunmore would not only be concealed – it would also be illegal. Lady Augusta Murray had known Prince Augustus Frederick for only three months but they had already fallen deeply in love and were desperate to be married. However, the Royal Marriages Act forbade such a union without the King's permission and going ahead with the ceremony would change Augusta's life forever. From a beautiful socialite she became a social pariah; her children were declared illegitimate and her family was scorned. In Forbidden Wife Julia Abel Smith uses material from the Royal Archives and the Dunmore family papers to create a dramatic biography set in the reigns of Kings George III and IV against the background of the American and French Revolutions.

Book Description
Adamma is happy now, or thinks she is as happy as she can ever be...until one night, when she dreams of a very beautiful woman, Mmirimma, her long-lost mother lost to history over twenty years ago. Adamma's strange dream centers around the events that led to the death of her father and the disappearance of her mother. Against all rationality, against all evidence to the contrary, Adamma rekindles the flames of hope, that her mother Mmirimma who had been missing for over twenty years, is still alive. From the glitzy playgrounds of Lagos, Adamma heads East, seeking answers to questions that had plagued her entire adult life...and there, back East, she hits a brick wall. She is warned to stop looking for Mmirimma, that a dark and terrifying destiny awaits her if she doesn't let her mother go. Against all odds, Adamma embarks on a journey back into her past, to find the threads of her long-lost family. But, along the way, she descends into shocking chaos, as if Fate itself is working against her. Death dogs her footsteps, trusted friends become enemies, her family seems to be falling apart, yet she ploughs on in her search for her mother. With each step she makes closer to the truth about her mother's disappearance, her family seems to fall apart the more, and she faces a trial that will send her to her death if she loses, and destroy her family if she wins.
