About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Miles from anywhere, the isolated mansion Darracott Place is presided over by the irascible Lord Darracott.

The recent drowning of his eldest son has done nothing to improve his temper. For now he must send for the unknown offspring of the uncle whom the family are never permitted to mention. Yet none of that beleaguered family are prepared for the arrival of the weaver's brat and heir apparent....

Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day.

Critic Reviews

"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes.... Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

"Heart-stoppingly gorgeous." (Harriet Evans)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)

An engaging light-hearted read.

Loved it more the second time. First time is always a struggle to get to know the characters. But once you know them, they sound more and more like they are familiar to you and likeable all the more. I like to be transported back to the era when there was no electricity and no motor cars, and yet the boys and girls were no different it appears.

Great book and what an author

Amazing variety in the author’s characters. She manages to surprise in the traits of all her protagonists. Possibly one of the greatest authors of the 20th century, right there alongside with Agatha Christie, Somerset Maugham and Dick Francis. Loved the book!
