Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey Lady Catherine is a sequel to Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey. The Countess Carnarvon weaves between history and a deep range of fascinating players shattered and then threatened by world war. Her tale begins where Almina left off, with the lost generation of the Twenties. In contrast to both Lord Grantham of Downton Abbey and the Tut's Tomb discovering 5th Earl of Carnarvon, this generation's Lord Carnarvon (Porchy) is a high-living bon vivant. He marries an American without wealth, then inherits a huge burden without the Rothschild money of his mother. Turning his focus to the the high life in London and horse racing, Porchy leaves his depressed wife to raise his family in a lonely castle.
But that only sets the table for an amazing series of heroic characters from Highclere, especially war hero butler Robert Taylor and Catherine's children Henry and Penelope, to rise to the challenge of World War 2. Lady Catherine transforms from lost American debutante to partner with a great British naval hero, who courageously saves a King from Nazi submarines. The author once again weaves a tale of romance, heartbreaking loss and heroism. The Countess restores Highclere and even the thrice married 'naughty' Earl to positions as bastions of noblesse oblige, all while World War 2 threatens to destroy Highclere and England.
