Book description
Miss Abigail Wendover's efforts to detach her spirited niece Fanny
from a plausible fortune-hunter are complicated by the arrival in Bath
of Miles Caverleigh. The black sheep of his family, a cynical,
outrageous care-for-naught with a scandalous past - that would be a
connection more shocking even than Fanny's unwise liaison with his
nephew! But Abby, adept at managing her sweet silly sister Selina, her
lively niece, and the host of her admirers among Bath's circumscribed
society, has less success in managing her own unruly heart.
The Black Sheep is a sweeping, spiritual novel that shows how
Geogette Heyer became the most successful and popular writer of her
generation and configures to be loved by a huge readership today.
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.
