Description

A bundle of passionate but unclaimed love letters written a century ago and found in a London bank vault have led to the uncovering of an extraordinary story.

Research has revealed the adventures of a spirited young woman who by the standards of the time, or perhaps any time, behaved scandalously.

Yet she managed to avoid disgrace, get her man, and go on to lead a respectable life.

At first sight Ellen Nelsen's behaviour appears shocking.

Among other misdeeds she appears to have been bigamously married twice.

Given her circumstances, however, her survival is a triumph of fortitude over betrayal.
