“In the Roaring Twenties they rewrote the rules.”
Set against the glamorous backdrop of Britain's roaring '20s, The Laureate tells the story of young British War Poet Robert Graves, who is married with four children when he meets and becomes romantically involved with Laura Riding, a writer from America.

But soon tensions and rivalries become so fraught that Graves is a suspect for attempted murder.
