Cotillion
In this lighthearted read from the incomparable pen of Georgette Heyer, our heroine Kitty Charing is living with her guardian, Matthew Penicuik. She is surprised to discover that he has invited his four great-nephews to his house to vie for Kitty's hand. The one who Kitty marries will inherit Mr. Penicuik's fortune.
Kitty is a quite modern heroine, capable of taking care of herself, but realizing there are times that help from other quarters is needed. Freddy installs Kitty with his married sister Meg whose older husband has gone off for business in India, and the women quite conveniently manage to get themselves involved in lives and situations better left alone. But then, that’s the fun of the book. All the characters, all the interconnected lives, all the romance!

I think I was about fourteen
I think I was about fourteen when I discovered Georgette Heyer. Over the next year, I read every one of her Regency novels by taking the bus from library to library in St. Petersburg, Florida. Among my favorites are “These Old Shades,” its sequel, “The Devil’s Cub,” and “Venetia.” According to Wikipedia, “The Devil’s Cub” was published “in 1932, and has not been out of print since. It is one of her most popular novels.” Even for those who don’t usually care for historical romances, Heyer is a treat. Her novels were written with a light hand, tremendous humor and lots of romance.
