Synopsis

Kate Malvern, rescued from penury by her aunt Minerva, hardly knows what do expect at Staplewood-the grand household is so very different from a life spent following the drum in the Peninsular! But surely, other households are more homelike? Kate`s uncle lives in one wing, her handsome, moody cousin Torquil in another; though the guests are few, even family dinners are formal. And, when Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva`s generosity, she has no one to confide in but cousin Philip- who appears to have taken her in instant dislike. . .

Revue de presse

"Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to" (Katie Fforde)

"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)

"Sparkling" (Independent on Sunday)

"Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone" (Diane Pearson)
