Ilhsa
She was a princess, daughter of Leopold II, perhaps the most hated king in Europe. Her lover was a lowly hussar. Their love-affair in turn-of-the-century Vienna was to scandalise a continent. Dan Jacobson's brilliant imagining of this forgotten episode in the Hapsburg court brings to life one of the century's great love stories. Long-listed for the 2005 Man Booker Prize.
