As a young actress, she had been the great passion and muse of Charles Dickens. But in Victorian society, secrecy was the price they had to pay to not hurt themselves or those close to them. For Nelly, this meant a life of “invisibility” in the shadow of the genius she loved and had inspired. (English spoken)
