A gripping historical novel based on the true story of Admiral Horatio Nelson and his wife, Fanny Nelson.
Horatio Nelson and his wife Fanny, begin their married life in humble circumstances, living quietly in his father's damp Norfolk parsonage. Though poor, they are content … until war begins.
As the French Revolutionary War erupts, Nelson is summoned back to sea. With each passing year, his reputation grows. He rises through the ranks to become one of Britain's most lauded naval heroes.
But success comes at a cost.
While Nelson earns glory in battle, Fanny is left behind in England, managing their affairs and enduring long separations. The man she once knew begins to change – becoming ambitious, proud, and increasingly distant.
Bound by the expectations of the 18th century, Fanny must navigate love, loyalty, and survival in a world that offers her little power. Can she stand her ground against the rising legend of Horatio Nelson – or will she lose everything?
Nelson's Folly is a sweeping and emotionally resonant historical fiction novel, bringing to life the complex marriage behind one of Britain's greatest naval icons. Perfect for readers of naval history, British historical fiction, and biographical novels based on real people.
Book One in the Nelson & His Son series.
Oliver Greeves, a direct descendant of Fanny Nelson, brings a deeply personal perspective to this story.
