A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds -- Kate Fenton * Daily Telegraph *
Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone -- Diane Pearson
