![]() Her younger sibling Charlotte, ever conscious of the demands of propriety and duty, accepts her decision.īut creative, impetuous Horatia, the youngest of the three Winwood sisters, doesn’t see any reason why Lizzie should make herself miserable. What can be done? Lizzie has quite made up her mind to sacrifice her happiness for the good of her family – for her father is dead and her brother Pelham is busy losing money at card-tables all over Europe. ![]() The only problem is that Lizzie’s affections are already directed elsewhere, to the gentle but impecunious Lieutenant Edward Heron. His choice falls on the lovely Miss Elizabeth Winwood who, with her old name, good breeding and striking beauty will make the perfect match. ![]() The Earl of Rule has decided, at the advanced age of thirty-five, to take a wife. With balls, card-parties, duels and highwaymen, it’s a gloriously frothy story dressed up with fabulous gowns, extravagant wigs and two very appealing protagonists. And The Convenient Marriage delivers on all fronts. There are times when a girl simply needs a bit of frivolity. At the moment that’s an irritating cold, so I was much in need of witty Regency escapades to divert myself from snuffling. Her books may be fluffy and predictable her characters may be much the same from story to story but I adore her: she never fails to delight and distract from whatever life throws at me. I haven’t read a new Georgette Heyer novel since before I started writing this blog, which means it’s long overdue. ![]()
