A fascinating tale albeit not very well written. It may never be known if Engelbertha Krupp was in fact related to the Krupp dynasty as the family is apparently disputing the author's claims, but if you can stick with it, past the grammatical errors and constant jumping around in time and can keep everyone's name straight, it's an intriguing tale of a woman who may have defied one of Germany's most notorious armaments manufacturers in order to marry for love.
