Voltaire in Love by Nancy Mitford is a historical account of the passionate and intellectually stimulating relationship between Voltaire, the famous French Enlightenment writer, and Émilie, the Marquise du Châtelet. The book delves into their 16-year romance, highlighting their shared love for science, philosophy, and literature.

Émilie was not only Voltaire's lover but also a significant intellectual figure in her own right, known for her translation of Newton's works into French. Their relationship was marked by both personal and intellectual collaboration, as they conducted experiments and engaged in deep philosophical discussions.

Mitford's narrative brings to life the vibrant social and intellectual milieu of 18th-century France, portraying Voltaire not just as a philosopher but as a lover and a man deeply engaged in the cultural and scientific advancements of his time.
