marycat203 's review for:
The Grand Sophy
by Georgette Heyer
I hadn’t read a Georgette Heyer since I was 16, but when I heard Harriet Gilbert rave about The Grand Sophy on her BBC podcast A Good Read, I felt I had literary permission to indulge in a Regency romance. Although Sophy would bowl me over in real life (which is how her cousin Charles Rivenhall feels), she charmed me as a character - as she ultimately does Charles in this enemies to lovers tale. The plot is silly but engaging, and the dialog sparkles. I confess, I’m now a committed Heyer fan.
When I was browsing at Powell’s earlier this fall, I had several editions to pick from (yay Powell’s!), but my choice was obvious, right? This cover!
Caveat: Her stereotypical portrayal of a Jewish pawnbroker may not have raised eyebrows in 1932 but is now really objectionable.
