The Grand Sophy
by Georgette Heyer
A regency romance? Me?
Finished it? And loved it?
No way! But true. I screamed and cheered at the end. (Figuratively, of course--not being you-know-who, I'd never dream of exhibiting such shocking behavior.)
Don't expect deep meaning, symbolism, harsh criticism of societal mores, or psychological observation. Go with a light heart and a willingness to suspend disbelief, and go very prepared to be entertained. It's like an Avengers movie set in Regency-era England and minus the super powers or evil genius.
I immediately started looking for another of Georgette Heyer's books on CD at the library. They have several, but the only ones that people liked as well as this were checked out.
