Julian Fellowes's Belgravia
iOS Universel / Divertissement
From Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes comes BELGRAVIA, the captivating story of a secret that unravels behind the doors of Victorian London’s grandest postcode. Revealed in serialised instalments with twists and turns and cliff-hanger endings, episodes are delivered directly to your device each week. You can read each episode, or listen to the audio narrated by Juliet Stevenson, or switch between the two. Download now to read or listen to Episode 1 for free.
The BELGRAVIA app includes exclusive features: a family tree that grows as you progress through the story and a map of the streets of 1840s Belgravia where you can see inside the sumptuous homes of our characters. Meet the social-climbing Trenchards who’ve made their money in trade and the Brockenhursts, a family from the highest echelons of Britain’s aristocracy, and discover the ties which bind them.
In every episode the bonus features are signalled in subtle blue text – videos, photos, illustrations, music and historical insight into this great time of change. Sections of text can be highlighted and favourited to be shared with friends and family. Purchased episodes include both the chapter text and audio edition read by award-winning actor Juliet Stevenson.
The app includes the text and audio editions of Episode 1: Dancing Into Battle where, on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, the Duchess of Richmond threw a magnificent ball in Brussels for the Duke of Wellington. Just after midnight, word came that Napoleon had unexpectedly crossed the border and Wellington and his troops were called immediately to prepare for war. Many of the officers died on the battlefield, still in the dress uniforms they had worn to the ball.
At the ball are James and Anne Trenchard and their beautiful daughter Sophia, who has caught the eye of Edmund Bellasis, the son and heir of the Brockenhurst dynasty. Something takes place that has a seismic effect on all their lives and twenty-five years later, when the two families are settled in the newly-developed Belgravia, the consequences of this terrible secret still resonate. Behind the doors of these magnificent new houses lies a web of gossip and intrigue.
