These Old Shades

Summary: The Best of the Best
Review: Unlike many of Ms. Heyer's novels, 'These Old Shades' declines to be a regency. It suffers not from this circumstance. Set in Georgian times, and hopping the Channel back and forth between France and England, it is the story of the most sophisticated, and English, of Dukes. . .and his young, French, FEMALE page.
Milord Avon rescues Leonie (then Leon) from abuse and penury, seeing in her face the likeness of his greatest enemy, and recognizing the possibilities for sweet revenge.
What happens next is classic Heyerian mayhem, with Leonie in the lead and Avon following in her wake with great enjoyment. For those who wish to discover how Leonie wins both her birthright, and the heart of her Monseigneur. . .well, you must read the book. Thankfully, this wonderful classic is now available in stores, since it has just been reprinted. Grab it while you can, for you may be sure this issuing will go out as quickly as it came in.
