keberoxu BS: books: Georgette Heyer (17) the delights of Georgette Heyer 08 Jul 18


Lately, several of us Mudcatters have been exchanging
posts about the twentieth-century Englishwoman Georgette Heyer
and her entertaining novels taking place
in Regency England.

There are enough of us to have a thread just for this author.

Currently I am re-reading The Talisman Ring.   

The plot of this novel gets a bit tangled up in places.
There are two, count 'em, two pairs of eligible people here.

A marriage of convenience has been arranged, by a dying autocratic grandfather,
between two cousins,
as reported in the opening chapter.
Will that initial pair end up together,
or will they be respectively drawn to
the fugitive from justice
and the adaptable younger sister of a dyed-in-the-wool eccentric baronet?

Oh, and one of the characters is a murderer,
and the murder is unsolved as the book opens.

Actually The Talisman Ring is hilarious.
You can see that if you click on the above link.
While the madcap goings-on keep you turning the page,
what I come back for are the characters and their repartee.

Who else out there has favorites from this author?
