False Colours seems to be one of the less popular Heyer novels, because I had rarely heard of it, but it turned out to be one of my favourites. Such a fun, lovely Regency romp set in the country stars one of her best male leads in Kit, the younger of a pair of identical twins. The magic is that Heyer has populated the book with so many engaging characters and the story is fun from start to finish. By the end I wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to all of them. Well worth a read, or re-read in my case.
False Colours
The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby, the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple, the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy. But in the face of Evelyn's continues absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit ... In this typically wonderful and sweeping romance, Georgette Heyer shows all the skill that made her the queen of historical fiction for over fifty years - and won her a huge audience that continues to this day.
