A friend once gave me a Georgette Heyer book. I've never read more of them. I'll have to pick up another Heyer. I got distracted by Dorothy L. Sayers and never got back to Heyer. Thanks for the reminder.
My favorite Georgette Heyer novel is Frederica. I can't wait to read a review a day.
Thanks for the mention Vic. I am looking forward to learning more about Heyer and reading all the reviews. Since I give you full credit for enticing me to read Friday's Child I can blame Vic and not Jane Austen for my addition. Thanks, LA
