Another with a side of history is "An Infamous Army" taking place in Brussels parallel to the battle of Waterloo. The protagonists are grown people, on equal footing as persons and quite well sketched. It's a proper novel.Zagorkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-73765424523444658172020-05-02T08:59:45.412-04:002020-05-02T08:59:45.412-04:00I will remember especially all of these intentions...I will remember especially all of these intentions tomorrow.<br /><br />Kelly, I was just thinking of you, because The Nonesuch and Sylvester arrived yesterday, and I devoured them. Sylvester was amusing, but The Nonesuch was much the better book, and I was quite pleased. The one I hated so much the other day was A Lady of Quality. Frederica I own, and I think both The Reluctant Widow (which I read once, years ago) and The Grand Sophy ought to be arriving any day now. <br /><br />I've been reading The Spanish Bride. As a military novel it's quite superior, but I'm finding it too easy to set it down and not rush back to it.MrsDarwinhttp://darwincatholic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-56494486952644677212020-05-02T08:11:11.288-04:002020-05-02T08:11:11.288-04:00My favorite Georgette Heyers are Frederica, The Gr...My favorite Georgette Heyers are Frederica, The Grand Sophy, and The Reluctant Widow. Others that I enjoyed and won't recycle plots too much with each other: Cotillion, The Nonesuch, The Black Sheep, and The Unknown Ajax. None of these involve a teenager ending up with a 40 year old or has a hate relationship with a controlling man turn into a romance. There's no other Heyer book to match A Civil Contract. Cousin Kate has a different feel, but along the lines of a kind of suspenseful gothic novel. The romance is very secondary and feels kind of tacked on.
