Merde! what a book! When I read 'The Grand Sophy' I was certain no other book will come close. Thank you Georgette Heyer for proving me sadly wrong. This book is above and beyond my expectations. It has wit and so much heart. Each and every character was so well drawn and real and I was quite heartbroken when I got to the end.
Heyer does set a high standard and everyone else must try to measure up. When I'm in a less excited state of mind, I will attempt a proper review. And could there be a more challenging hero? Alistair hmmm...
