Belgravia

Julian Fellowes “Belgravia”,  Grand Central Publishing, 2016, 402 pp.

If you liked Downton Abbey, you’ll like this book: It is written by the same author.  The story begins in 1815 at a ball in Brussels as Napoleon approaches the city for the ensuing battle of Waterloo.  A secret involving an officer killed in that battle is what propels this story.  After the battle, the plot jumps to the 1840s and continues from that point.  There is a Duchess in this story who is much like the one portrayed in Downton Abbey.  I read the book in two days but mostly to just get done with it.
