A review by sherwoodreads
Arabella by Georgette Heyer
One of Heyer's battle of the sexes plots. I love the opening scene with Arabella's family. She finds herself tricked into going to London as an heiress by Heyer's standard rake, and as the inevitably romance develops there are the usual hi-jinks with family members. There is a rare appearance of the poor and how hard their lives are, though Heyer limits contact to one or two examples whose lives are instantly and easily fixed. Some witty passages.
