Brought to you by Penguin.

Vernon Alverstoke sees no reason to put himself out for anyone.

But when a distant connection asks for help, he is quickly plunged into one drama after another by the disorderly Merriville family.

Surprisingly, he finds himself far from bored - especially when he encounters their strong-minded daughter, Frederica.

However, she seems far more concerned with her family's welfare than his romantic advances...

'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

'There is no one better at intelligent effervescence than Heyer. All her books are utter bliss' ANNA MURPHY, TIMES Pick of the Month

Critic Reviews

If you want to escape lockdown completely, then I recommend any novel by Georgette Heyer, or indeed, all her novels. They are absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes, winsome heroines, fops, dandies, dastardly baddies and lots of sumptuous descriptions of silk-lined bonnets, cravats and breeches. Utter, immersive escapism. Try starting off with Frederica. (SOPHIE KINSELLA)
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)
Triumphantly good (India Knight)
Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic (Katie Fforde)
A writer of great wit and style

Joe's Jameson, I think, is that rare non-female narrator that doesn't make the women he voices sound shrill or bleating! His 'Felix' was particularly engaging. This is a wonderful Heyer and Joe Jameson does it full justice.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Great character build up, humour and wit in every sentence. Great story and great storytelling. Enjoyed every moment of the Audiobook.

Wonderfully written

One of my favourite Georgette Heyer books. Awesome characters and laugh out loud story line. The narration is one of the better ones for the Georgette Heyer books but can get a bit draggy in some parts. Otherwise an easy listen.

One of my favourites

the story went this way and that and I never knew the direction it would take. the two young boys are such charmers. and it's a very amusing story.

utterly charming
