Their divorce a few years later was one of England s most scandalous at that time. In her quest for passionate fulfilment she had lovers which included an Austrian prince, King Ludvig I of Bavaria, and a Greek count whose infidelities drove her to the Orient. In Syria, she found the love of her life, a Bedouin nobleman, Sheikh Medjuel el Mezrab who was twenty years her junior. Bestselling biographer Mary Lovell has produced from Jane Digby’s diaries not only a sympathetic and dramatic portrait of a rare woman, but a fascinating glimpse into the centuries-old Bedouin tradition that is now almost lost. Review: Fascinating, a woman ahead of her time. - This fascinating woman's life was totally unknown to me, can't believe television hasn't devoted a series on her extraordinary life of adventure. From her presentation at court, her subsequent marriage, and much publicised divorce,the reader is taken on a roller coaster journey through the courts of early 19th century Europe until finally ending up in Syria!Sexually liberated, at a time when women were expected to ignore their physical needs, she flouted all discretion in pursuit of fulfilment. From kings to bandits, to a bedouin sheik, her husbands and lovers were a mixture of cads and true gentlemen.Ms Lovell's narrative keeps the reader intrigued throughout.A well researched biography based on authentic material.Excellent read, highly recommend this book to those of you who enjoy historical biographies as l do. Review: Jerry Springer meets Masterpiece Theater - Good read and an amazing life! Nonfiction books usually can't keep my attention for long...probably because I already know the outcome..but this was very well written, and I was not familiar with the person it was written about. I couldn't put it down. She really was a very courageous woman who led a crazy life. I kind of developed a love/hate type of feeling for her. Loved the adventurousness and bravery to travel to distant lands and see places that women from her day and society normally wouldn't go or see but her unfaithfulness in marriage and treatment of her children and family led me to dislike her at the same time. She seemed to be a very selfish and compulsive woman especially in her younger years. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #397,525 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #520 in Historical British Biographies #713 in Television Performer Biographies #1,482 in Rich & Famous Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 767 Reviews | ## Images ![A Scandalous Life: The Biography of Jane Digby - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BunChT6GL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating, a woman ahead of her time. *by C***A on March 20, 2013* This fascinating woman's life was totally unknown to me, can't believe television hasn't devoted a series on her extraordinary life of adventure.

Nonfiction books usually can't keep my attention for long...probably because I already know the outcome..but this was very well written, and I was not familiar with the person it was written about. I couldn't put it down. She really was a very courageous woman who led a crazy life. I kind of developed a love/hate type of feeling for her.

Jane is a person you could never have made up - no one would have believed you! She is a bit annoying as a young person, basically throwing away her life on a handful of cads and simply dropping her children off when she moved on to the next mad passion. The author does a wonderful job of setting these whirlwind passions in the the context and mores of her times. Although foot noted, it reads much more like historical fiction - definitely a page turner with quotes from Jane's contemporaries to really set the tone of the times. Incredibly well researched, and a ripping good read. What else could we ask for. So sorry that the book has to end. When is the movie coming out?
