Strange Beginning: A Novel: Book 1 of the Byron Series
Strange Beginning: A Novel: Book 1 of the Byron Series | Gretta Curran Browne
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
He was later to become known as "The most beautiful and most famous man in England" - but not yet... Beginning when he is a boy of ten years old, we join George Gordon when he is living a miserable life with his manic Scottish mother in a few rented rooms above a shop in Aberdeen; unaware that his true surname is not Gordon, and that his true heritage is with the English aristocracy - who soon come to claim him. A life of wealth and privilege is then bestowed upon him, which eventually sets the stage for him to prove his own individual worth, in his own way, and in his own time. Meticulously researched, and adapted into novel form, 'A Strange Beginning' is the first of a series of books about the most iconic young man of his time, whose fame still lives on today. "The story of Byron's early life and struggles on his path to poetical greatness."

This had been sitting on my Kindle for quite some time - a free book that sounded intriguing.

It was intriguing!

This is the story of Lord Byron from childhood to age 23.

Very interesting.

Book 1 in a series of 7

It's been a great bedtime read, the kind where you know you're going to fall asleep so you don't really want something too in depth. Some passages I think need more to them but overall enjoyable.
