This is a story about an amazing, independent, fearless, young woman Miss Sophy Stanton-Lacy, published in 1950 and set in the Victorian era. Sophy has had a unique upbringing having followed her father Sir Horace in his role of diplomat to various countries on the Continent. She's learned self-preservation and an incorrigible boldness that is unusual in this Regency period. She comes to reside in her fathers sister's house in London while her father is away on a diplomatic mission in Brazil. I laughed and smiled throughout this fantastic story, the humour just leaps out from the pages. One of the most fascinating heroines, a lovely book and one of Heyer's best. A truly escape read!
The Grand Sophy
'Georgette Heyer is unbeatable.' Sunday Telegraph**.** A beautifully repackaged edition of one of the best of the best. When the redoubtable Sir Horace Stanton-Lacy is ordered to South America on Diplomatic Business he parks his only daughter Sophy with his sister's family, the Ombersleys, in Berkeley Square. Upon her arrival, Sophy is bemused to see to see her cousins are in a sad tangle. The heartless and tyrannical Charles is betrothed to a pedantic bluestocking almost as tiresome as himself; Cecilia is besotted with a beautiful but quite feather-brained poet; and Hubert has fallen foul of a money-lender. It looks like the Grand Sophy has arrived just in time to sort them out, but she hasn't reckoned with Charles, the Ombersleys' heir, who has only one thought - to marry her off and rid the family of her meddlesome ways.
