A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Rich, handsome, darling of the ton, the hope of ambitious mothers and despair of his sisters - the Marquis of Alverstoke sees no reason to put himself out for anyone. Until a distant connection, ignorant of his selfishness, applies to him for help.

Plunged headlong into one drama after another by the large and irrepressible Merriville family, Alverstoke is surprised to find himself far from bored. The lovely Charis may be as hen-witted as she is beautiful but Jessamy is an interesting boy, and Felix an engaging scamp.

And, most intriguing of all, their strong-minded sister Frederica, who seems more concerned with her family's welfare than his own distinguished attentions.

'Georgette Heyer is unbeatable.' India Knight, Sunday Telegraph

'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
