Book description
The Earl of Spenborough has always been noted for his eccentricity.
Leaving a widow younger than his own daughter Serena is one thing, but
quite another is leaving Serena's fortune to the trusteeship of the
Marquis of Rotherham -- a man whom Serena once jilted and who now has
the power to give or withhold his consent to any marriage she might
contemplate. When Serena and her lovely young stepmother Fanny decide
to move to Bath, Serena makes an odd new friend and discovers an old
love, Major Hector Kirkby. Before long, Serena, Fanny, Kirkby, and
Rotherham are entangled in a welter of marriage and manners the like
of which even Regency Bath has rarely seen.
Bath Tangle is a peerless historical romance by an author who
was one of the most prolific, successful and best-loved writers of her age.
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.
