'The greatest writer who ever lived' ANTONIA FRASER

'A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers ... the permanent glister of scandal

...

ties the whole thing together' INDEPENDENT

'My generation's Julia Quinn' ADJOA ANDOH, star of Bridgerton

Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is ready to find a bride.

His pursuit of a partner sets him on course to Phoebe Marlow, a young lady who is far more concerned with riding than sewing or beautiful clothes.

With Phoebe struggling to meet her family's demands of gentility and poise, a potential match with Sylvester is exceedingly advantageous. So, it is very intriguing indeed when a visit from her potential suitor causes Phoebe to flee her home.

When the pair meet again and an unexpected adventure ensues, Sylvester comes to realise that there is much more to Phoebe than her reputation affords . . .

'One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's' JOANNE HARRIS

'Elegant, witty and rapturously romantic' KATIE FFORDE

'Utterly delightful' GUARDIAN

'Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. . . Utter, immersive escapism' SOPHIE KINSELLA

'Georgette Heyer's Regency romances brim with elegance, wit and historical accuracy, and this is one of her finest and most entertaining ... Escapism of the highest order' DAILY MAIL

Reviews for Sylvester

""My favourite historical novelist -- stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours."" Margaret Drabble ""Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to."" Katie Fforde ""A writer of great wit and style ... I've read her books to ragged shreds."" Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph
