Book description
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 ...
Fo over fifty years until her death in 1974, Georgette Heyer was the
undisputed queen of historical romantic fiction, and the The
Convenient Marriage shows why she configures to be loved by a
huge readership to this day.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period her
own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was written at
the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her last was My
Lord John. Although most famous for her historical novels, she also
wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age
of seventy-one.
