A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

When the eligible Earl of Rule offers for the hand of the Beauty of the Winwood Family, he has no notion of the distress he causes his intended.

For Miss Lizzie Winwood is promised to the excellent, but impoverished Mr Edward Heron. Disaster can only be averted by the delightful impetuosity of her youngest sister, Horatia, who conceives her own, distinctly original plans.

'A writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds.' Kate Fenton, Daily 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
