Summary: you'll be won over
Review: This is the first Heyer book I've read--some bookstore clerks insisted I had to try it. In many ways, the book seemed like fake Jane Austen to me, but it was written with so much humor and good will that I ended up really enjoying it. The opening scene is rather tedious, but it's clear sailing once heroine Kitty Charing makes her appearance. Heyer excels at creating memorable and unusual characters, and enjoys playing with her readers' expectations.
