Miles from anywhere, the isolated mansion Darracott Place is presided over by the irascible Lord Darracott.

The recent drowning of his eldest son has done nothing to improve his temper. For now he must send for the unknown offspring of the uncle whom the family are never permitted to mention. Yet none of that beleaguered family are prepared for the arrival of the weaver's brat and heir apparent....

Yet again Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day.

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

"Heart-stoppingly gorgeous." (Harriet Evans)

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)

I don’t know how many times I’ve read it just that my paperback finally fell apart.
The characters are wonderful, I suspect my favorite is the same as everyone else’s, Hugo.
I still have a number of her books to read but am so happy to have this old friend available for a visit whenever I want.

This is one of my favorite Heyer books.

I’ve always loved this light hearted story. The narration is excellent, smoothly changing from one accent or character to the next. Hugo’s Yorkshire accent is perfect!

Excellent!
