Another enjoyable re-read with a strong minded "older" young heroine (24-36) who wins the love of a Tulip of the Ton mostly by needing his help but not trying too hard, and being her own smart, witty, busy self. Frederica Merrivale has come to town to secure a good match for her beautiful, "pigeon-witted" younger sister, with her brothers in tow. She solicits the help of the Marquis of Alverstoke, a distant relation and the old friend of her fatther. He agrees to help sponsor the Merrivales solely to upset his annoying mooch of a sister, who is bringing out her plains disagreeable daughter the same year, Add in a clandestine love affair for the beautiful sister, a large, friendly, poorly trained mongrel dog who needs constant exercise and a hot air balloon chase and you can imagine how much fun it all is, As with all of Georgette Heyer's work the book recalls the witty, sparkling movies of the '40s and would make the most wonderful screwball comedy. But I think I have had enough of re-reading GH for the moment. So many books out there I haven't read! And as always, so many books, so little time.
