Book description
Independent and spirited, Miss Annis Wychwood gives little thought to
finding herself a suitable husband, thus dashing the dreams of many
hopeful suitors. When she becomes embroiled in the affairs of the
runaway heiress Lucilla, though, she encounters the beautiful
fugitive's guardian - as rakish and uncivil a rogue she has ever met.
Although chafing a bit at the restrictions of Regency society in Bath,
Annis does have to admit that Oliver Carleton, at least, is never boring.
Showing all the skills that won her a devoted worldwide readership,
Georgette Heyer's Lady of Quality is a dashing romance by the
undisputed queen of the romantic novel.
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.
