A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Renowned gamester and the first to admit that he is entirely void of a romantic disposition, Max Ravenscar regards all eligible females with indifference and unconcern.

But when he meets the woman his young cousin Adrian is bent on marrying – the beautiful Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt's gaming house – he finds that none of his experience in risk and gambling has prepared him for such a worthy opponent.

'My favourite historical novelist – stylish, romantic, sharp and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising and her heroes are dashing. I owe her many happy hours.' Margaret Drabble

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

'Sparkling.' Independent on Sunday

Fiction

Revue de presse

Georgette Heyer's novels are second to none in recreating Regency times, and most of them are available on audio. The latest of Naxos's lively abridged versions to be released is Faro's Daughter, another tale of a poor but feisty girl using her mind as well as her looks to make good. From the instant that the wealthy and noble Max Ravenscar frowns at the news that his naive young cousin is in love with a gamester's daughter, we can guess the outcome, but the journey, voiced with bounce and bonhomie by Laura Paton, is a delight. --Christina Hardyment, The Times
