The Impossible Life of Mary Benson. 'As Good as God, as Clever as the Devil' brings the late-Victorian and early-Edwardian period to vivid life through the telling of the remarkable true story of the life of Mary Benson. Engaged at twelve years old, married to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the mother of four 'unpermissably gifted' children, Mary Benson entertained famous authors, politicians and the monarch herself, but her most intense and intimate relationships were in fact with other women. This is the story of one loveable, brilliant woman.
