celticdragonflyI continue in my methodical ploughing through all the Georgette Heyer books I can find.
Well, methodical overstates it, but I'm doing my best.
Found two more yesterday at a used bookstore I hadn't been in before. One, _Bath Tangle_, that I hadn't read yet, and the other, _A Civil Contract_, which I'd read from the library. On I go with the collection. I am dismayed that I could not find out any info about the line of them that's been being republished once a month. Nothing listed for at least the next 3 months. I'd hate to think they'd stopped republishing them.
I plan to read some of them to Karl as we drive cross country, hopefully. At the moment we're just doing a family reading time every evening, from the Little House series, for the kids. Enjoying that very much. Karl and I alternate whose turn it is to read.

Re: Heyer
Date: 2003-08-21 06:44 pm (UTC)I found Masqueraders confusing too, when I first read it, since the characters suddenly change names and swap genders without warning! I wouldn't be surprised if it were an early one.
You've remembered Aurelia correctly - and actually, it was also the scene at the end of Unknown Ajax which brought out the Alys/Aurelia connection particularly strongly to me - the bit about everyone feeling shattered after their encounter with a 'mere female' was priceless..
