The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer

5.0

funny lighthearted fast-paced

---

“Well I think,” said Sophy confidentiality “that he now means to be in love with me, Charles. He likes the way I hold a lamp and he says, he would like to see me with an urn.”

"By all that is wonderful, it's the Grand Sophy!"

Oh my goodness I loved every minute of this delightful regency! Seriously I couldn’t stop giggling… the dialogue & banter in this book is perfection! This is my second book by Georgette Heyer & it won’t be the last. I absolutely loved Sophy who was raised by her father & had an unusual upbringing traveling the world. When she arrives in London to stay with her Aunt & family, chaos issues! I mean she arrives with a dog, a parrot & a monkey 😂 Sophy is unconventional, smart, funny & has a talent for setting things to right. When she sees how unhappy her extended family is she knows she can help... Sophy’s meddling schemes will have you giggling & falling in love with all of these characters! There are so many delightful moments… if you are looking for a fun classic, this is it. I strongly recommend audio, it was fantastic! 

“I find it a marvellous circumstance, cousin, that no one has yet strangled you!”

“Will you marry me, vile and abominable girl that you are?

Yes, but, mind, it only to save my neck from being wrung!”
