About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a city man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter.

For more than 50 years Georgette Heyer brought romance and adventure to a wordwide audience, and Civil Contract shows how she continues to be loved today.

A very different story from Georgette Heyer rather on a solemn side. It beautifully brings about the various facets and complications of human personalities. Ms Heyer kept my emotions hooked with Jenny throughout, and never could I complain about over the top changes in the characters that developed across the pages, painstakingly.

A solemn story performed well
