Arabella by Georgette Heyer

3.0

Arabella is said to be Georgette Heyer's literary homage to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Austen was a great influence and inspiration to Heyer. Having found Arabella a thoroughly entertaining read and certainly an enjoyable afternoon endeavour, I should admit that it doesn't come close to the brilliance of Pride and Prejudice. Nevertheless, Heyer, who essentially established the Regency romance genre in the 1900s, undoubtedly accomplished a feat of her own.
