A review by reddyrat
Lady of Quality by Georgette Heyer

4.0

Another charming Heyer romance novel. The plot is both predictable and unoriginal, but still enjoyable. Set at the end of the Regency period, Annis is a woman in her late twenties who lives alone in Bath. She encounters a young heiress, Lucilla, running away from her family to avoid marriage to her best friend. Annis offers to take Lucilla in whilst her family decides what to do with her. This brings Annis into contact with Lucilla's uncle, the rudest man Annis has ever met. As expected, they fall in love and get married. The book has lots of interesting details about life amongst the wealthy during Regency period. Heyer's heroines and heroes are typically witty characters who make amusing, sardonic remarks throughout the novel. The books are reminiscent of Jane Austen.
