The Lady Edwina Mountbatten was known for many things in high society London: the favored heiress to her grandfather's immense fortune, marrying the grandson of Queen Victoria, charming Fred Astaire, and for her affair with the first Prime Minister of India, Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru. 
        
        The real Lady Mountbatten was full of grace and wit, a repertoire of quick - fire intelligent banter, political acumen that rivaled statesmen, and a generous, compassionate heart that had a whole nation falling in love with her. 
        
        The story begins in 1938 Europe at the beginning of World War II aboard the Venice Simplon Orient Express, where the Countess shares a cabin with a man whose letters would one day become her most prized possessions.

Lady Eleanor Cantwell, daughter of the Marquess of Salford, is a proper young lady. With her golden complexion, raven-black hair, and manners befitting a princess, Lady Eleanor has always been deemed a belle. There is just one problem. Lady Eleanor Cantwell is Indian. Having been adopted from India when Lady Salford found herself unable to bear a child, Lady Eleanor is shunned by society, including her mother, on account of her true heritage. The ladies turn their noses at her and the gentlemen only wish for her virtue which she clings to dearly. They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is! Which is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger.
