About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Charity Steane has nothing in the world but hope.

Escaping a miserable life under her tyrannical aunt, she decides to take her chances with her estranged grandfather in London. Now it's just a matter of finding him.... And as a 'charity girl' with no dowry and no options, hope can only get her so far.

But with the help of the dashing and kind-hearted Desford and his dearest friend Hetta, it seems like Charity's fortunes might be about to change.

That is, until the surprise appearance of a long-lost relative throws things into chaos and suddenly the three friends find themselves surrounded by blackmail and scandal.

Will their efforts to do right by each other plunge them all into ruin?

Critic Reviews

"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes [...] Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

"I could mainline Heyer's Regency romances until the end of time and still not get bored [...] Georgette Heyer is perfect lockdown escapism." (India Knight)

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

Most relevant

I was initially concerned this would be a cliche "sympathy to love" plot, but I'm happy to say I was proven wrong. Hetta's mother, in particular, was a standout character—so well-written and compelling. It was a smooth and enjoyable story about the charmingly annoying Charity Steane.

Entertaining !

I wish Hugh Skinner hadn't made Cherry Steane sound so awful. the other female characters were bearable and the narration and male characters were splendidly rendered but the voice of Cherry Steane will feature in my nightmares!

Narration could have been better
