[From the cover] "Dudley Cheke’s intriguing biography of Josephine de Meric and her daughter Emilie Labache goes behind the scenes of the operatic world of the times, with fascinating insights into one of the few careers which women could make for themselves. Lawsuits and matrimonial tangles take their place beside a comprehensive account of success and failure on the stage".
