This marks the final post of the ‘Celebrating Georgette Heyer‘ event here at Austenprose. It has been a wonderful month of 34 book reviews of her romance novels, guest blogs, interviews and all out Heyer madness. I hope it chased away that fit of the blue-devils. A big thank you to each of the guest [...]

Vic has graciously agreed to be quizzed on her passion and knowledge of the Queen of Regency Romance, so please welcome her and feel free [...]

Guest review by Claire of The Captive Reader Originally published in 1948, The Foundling was one of the very few Heyer Regency novels I had not read.  As is always the case when you’re working against a deadline, I had some trouble tracking down a copy (even the library large print edition had multiple holds!)

The Corinthian, by Georgette Heyer – A Review

Posted in Blog Events, Book Reviews, Celebrating Georgette Heyer, Georgette Heyer Book Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , , on 11 August 2010 | 40 Comments »

Guest review by Danielle of A Work in Progress The Corinthian is the perfect summer read, a page turning romp through Regency England with all the right elements pulled off perfectly.  It’s a light-hearted comedy of manners and very much an adventure story with all sorts of twists and turns and misunderstandings — not surprising since the [...]

Guest review by Elaine Simpson-Long of Random Jottings An Infamous Army is a novel about the battle of Waterloo with a love story attached, not the other way round and the title refers to the Duke of Wellington’s unkind nickname for the motley collection of national armies under his command in 1815. The story is [...]

The Convenient Marriage, by Georgette Heyer (Naxos Audiobooks), read by Richard Armitage – A Review

Posted in Audio Book Reviews, Blog Events, Book Reviews, Celebrating Georgette Heyer, Georgette Heyer Book Reviews, tagged , , , , , , , on 6 August 2010 | 96 Comments »

I had not read The Convenient Marriage before this new Naxos Audiobooks recording happily landed on my doorstep.  I will confess all up front. I did the unthinkable. I read the complete plot synopsis on Wikipedia before I delved into the first chapter. *horrors*  Don’t even think about following my example.  It will spoil the [...]

Guest review by Lucy of Enchanted by Josephine I’ve only begun reading Heyer’s books as of late last year and can honestly say that so far every single one has been a source of pure delight.  No surprise – Powder and Patch followed suit in keeping me well entertained.  This book, sweet, short, hilarious, with [...]
