It starts off when Judith and her brother Peregrine go off to London to savour the wonders of Town life, without informing their guardian “The Fifth Earl of Worth, Julian”. The Girl, though not fashionably dark, is a classic Blonde Beauty (rare in Heyer books) – though not ‘ethereal’ and of course, the Hero is handsome, fashionable, a trifle older, and “a complete hand”, or “an out-and-outer” if you wish. So they savour the best Life can offer them, and we witness them. ![]() The main characters all rich, unimpeachable in birth, and “pink of the Ton” as Heyer would say. If you want to read a “happy” book, this is it. And this book formed the perfect foil for it. Prior to reading this, I had been devouring Jane Austen. Regency Buck is what I consider a classic Heyer novel. (Jump to my Ratings at the bottom of this post) It re-ignited my interest in the author and her wonderful works. I can understand the pain of being separated from a book you would like to re-read.Īnd so, after years of thinking about it I bought my first, very own, Georgette Heyer. ![]() More so because I am a book lover, and I stay in a city quite far away from hers. Though my mother owns almost all the Georgette Heyer books, I would not dream of separating them from her. ![]()
