Trade Review
Georgette Heyer is unbeatable -- India Knight
My favourite historical novelist -- stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours -- Margaret Drabble
A writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds -- Kate Fenton * Daily Telegraph *
Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to -- Katie Fforde
