Cousin Kate by Georgette Heyer
If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer! 'The greatest writer who ever lived' Antonia Fraser 'My generation's Julia Quinn' Adjoa Andoh 'Utterly delightful' Guardian 'If you haven't read Georgette Heyer yet, what a treat you have in store' Harriet Evans ______________ Tragically left an orphan after her father's death, Kate Malvern is taken under the wing of her forbidding aunt Minerva and brought to the grand house of Staplewood, where Minerva rules the roost. Her uncle lives in one wing, while her handsome, moody cousin occupies another; guests are few and far between, and even family dinners are rigidly formal. But the sudden arrival of Cousin Philip throws Minerva's control over the household into doubt, and soon Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generosity. She has no-one to confide in but Cousin Philip who - for reasons unknown - seems to have taken an unaccountable dislike to her... A rich and classic Regency Romance, Cousin Kate is replete with the sparkling humour, memorable characters and intricate plots that will delight Heyer fans the world over. ______________ Readers love Cousin Kate ... ***** 'Great read with gothic flare!' ***** 'If you love a good romance, you can't go wrong with a Georgette Heyer novel.' ***** 'I truly enjoyed this and will read more Heyer novels with pleasure. ***** 'A delightful read from start to finish. ***** 'Second, in my opinion, only to Jane Austen.'My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours -- Margaret Drabble
A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds -- Kate Fenton * Daily Telegraph *
Sparkling * Independent on Sunday *
Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone -- Diane Pearson
