The Foundling by Georgette Heyer
4.0
"I shall try to discover whether I am a man, or only a Duke."
Yet another great read from Georgette Heyer. She never really disappoints, but the Foundling in particular kept me quite entertained. Truly a laugh out loud reading experience. A strong character driven story that is best described as a comical staging of unfortunate events culminating to a triumphant coming-of-age transition.
Admittedly, I felt the story had a slow ponderous start, but it did not take long before Gilly won me over completely. His story reminds us all that overcoming our weaknesses, especially the ones that are perceived by others, is not for the faint of heart. It takes a willingness to go outside our comfort zone, courage and daring to view the world in someone else's shoes, strong belief in self and unshakable conviction in doing the right thing.
