Media Reviews
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 *
