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

Mass Market Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 1st Signet Printing. Spine slightly slanted, a bit creased, corners bumped, minor edge wear and rubbing, light tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy. ; 7 ¾" - 9 ¾" Tall; 220 pages; "No matter how well-bred she was, no matter how extenuating her circumstances, Deborah Grantham was nothing more than a gaming-house wench. Marriage with young Lord Mablethorpe was simply out of the question. His family would have to buy the hussy off. Representing the Mablethorpes in this distasteful transaction was Max Ravenscar, the wealthiest, cleverest and most stubborn bachelor in London. Face-to-face with his quarry across a faro table, Max felt pleasantly surprised: this intelligent witty beauty would be a delight to bargain with. But Max underestimated his opponent - a mistake that would soon prove the costliest of his life.". N° de réf. du vendeur 8327
