One to Watch: Chloe Schama

If you were wondering about the parentage of Chloe Schama, the dedication in her debut book should confirm your suspicions: it reads, "For my father, who taught me how to tell a story." The 26-year-old Harvard graduate is following in her historian dad's footsteps by publishing Wild Romance, The True Story of a Victorian Scandal , which explores the 19th-century romance between Theresa Longworth and William Charles Yelverton, Viscount Avonmore, and the resultant "Yelverton Bigamy Trial", a scandal that attracted front-page attention for weeks. Schama's book has garnered praise from Amanda Foreman : the author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire says, "I finished the book with regret, wanting more." Schama's book is published on 5 April by Bloomsbury
