Miss Annis Wychwood, at twenty-nine, has long been on the shelf, but this bothers her not at all.
The late Georgette Heyer was a very private woman. Her historical novels have charmed and delighted millions of readers for decades, though she rarely reached out to the public to discuss her works or private life. It is known that she was born in Wimbledon in August 1902, and her first novel, The Black Moth, was published in 1921.

First time a hero is an uncivil rake (in a GH book, that is). His blunt manners are the reason Annis falls for him. Annis is an older heroine like Sarah Thames. Her pupil for some time, Lucilla, is a lively young girl, and luckily, not silly. On the other hand, Annis' cousin Maria was soooo tiresome...
Two authors that I simply must engage with in the summer months:Georgette HeyerP G WodehouseFormulaic. Do not read this and think that this is all Heyer is about.
This can't be Georgette Heyer's last novel!

Though, of course, the main romance was enjoyable, too. I need my closure, you know, ...
My first Georgette Heyer -- this book began my love affair with Heyer's Regency England.
A smile and satisfied feeling is what I get after reading each Georgette Heyer's book.
