Book description
Kate Malvern, rescued from penury by her aunt Minerva, hardly knows
what to expect at Staplewood - the grand household is so very
different from a life spent following the drum in the Peninsular! But
surely, other households are more homelike? Kate's uncle lives in one
wing, handsome, moody cousin Torquil in another; thought the guests
are few, even family dinners are formal. And, when Kate begins to
suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generousity, she has no-one
to confide in but cousin Philip - who appears to have taken her in
instant dislike...
Cousin Kate shows all the ingredients that made Georgette
Heyer a romantic novelist, beloved to a huge worldwide readership.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and
best-loved of all historical novelists, making 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.
