This
month, Arrow Books are publishing six of the most loved Georgette Heyer
books with beautiful new jackets. With a writing career spanning more
than 50 years, and with over 50 novels still in print today, Georgette
Heyer is arguably one of the most successful Regency romance
novelists. I have often heard her books referred to as guilty pleasures,
but for me, they are like a comforting friend; full of vivid
characters, warmth, comic moments, damsels in distress and Prince
Charming-esque men. You'll finish each one feeling like you've just had a
hug. Reminiscent
of Jane Austen, with all the dizzying romance of fairytales; if you've
never read a Georgette Heyer before, I urge you to do so right away -
they are the best kind of escapism you could ask for, and once you've
read one, you'll want to read them all. Luckily, there are lots to get
through!
To
celebrate these gorgeous new Georgette jackets, we're having a
read-along of The Grand Sophy on Twitter, using the hashtag
#bestofheyer. We'd love for you to join in, and share your thoughts on
Twitter or in the comments here. Look out for the new editions in a
bookshop near you from the 20th June!
