IF YOU LOVE BRIDGERTON, YOU'LL LOVE GEORGETTE HEYER!

The charming Sophia Stanton-Lacy is a force to be reckoned with.

When Sophy is sent to stay with her London relatives, she finds her cousins in quite the tangle.

Cecilia is besotted with an attractive but feather-brained poet, Hubert has fallen foul of a money-lender, and the ruthlessly handsome Charles is engaged to a pedantic bluestocking who seems to bring out the worst in him...

Fortunately, Sophy has arrived just in time to sort them all out - but Charles is eager to rid his family of her meddlesome ways. Has the Grand Sophy finally met her match?

'A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers ... the permanent glister of scandal [...] ties the whole thing together' INDEPENDENT

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

'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

'Rapturously romantic' KATIE FFORDE

Ratings and reviews

lovely book. very entertaining. nicely read, although there are places where they have fixed some issues by inserting corrections in totally different tone. but it's not crucial for £9.99 price. the overall experience is very good and leaves one smiling.

Big hearted Georgette writing to provide an escape for women experiencing hardship & misery in a grey post-war world succeeds magnificently in The Grand Sophy, as she did with Faro's Daughter in 1941!

just wonderful! - and so well read.
