Description: When Nan Prunty's mother kept an alehouse in Portsmouth she renamed it 'The Duchess of Prunty', the title she claimed would have been hers had Lord Nelson lived. He was her lover - she saw him die at Trafalgar, or so she says. Nan makes her own way in life, but is always haunted by the wish to know the truth about her father. From the ageing seamen at the Greenwich Hospital to the battlefields of the Crimea, Nan discovers the world is full of people with a story about Nelson.
