A true story of love at first sight
In The Spanish Bride, Georgette Heyer follows hot-headed Brigade-Major Harry Smith and the spirited fourteen-year-old Spanish nobelwoman he met and instantly married during the Peninsular Ways, when the Duke of Wellington’s forces fought Napoleon’s army in Spain and Portugal.
The Spanish Bride illuminates in fascinating detail the wearying marches, deathly battles, unpredictable camp conditions, stolen moments of leisure, and victory in a stirring account of the exciting life of a military wife who “followed the drum” during the Regency period.
