Summary: Gentle but charming
Comment: I still love to read Georgette Heyers books in between other,more meaty books.I own every one written by her and have had this collection for many years. This story is a particularly light weight but still engaging story about a "spinster" of 29 years,thought to be well on the shelf and destined to be just an unpaid servant to her family. She befriend a beautiful,17 year old,just out of the schoolroom.The characters are beautifully drawn and a delicious love story evolves between the older woman and the handsome Sir Gareth Ludlow.Georgette Heyer conveys wonderful love stories without naked bedroom scenes and tasteless lust.

Summary: A charming, unconventional, mature love story
Comment: In Sprig Muslin, Georgette Heyer stands romantic convention on its ear. The true heroine of the piece is NOT the beautiful, tempestuous young ingenue, but instead a shy, quiet "spinster" whose humor and courage gradually emerge as the ingenious plot unfolds. Sprig Muslin was not one of my favorite Heyer novels the first time I read it, but I have come to treasure it more with each reading.

Summary: An OK book
Comment: I just read this book 2 days ago, & I must say, it could have been a little better. This book features the impressive, but kind Sir Gareth Ludlow, the beautiful, spirited & wildly imaginative Amanda, & the quiet, docile Lady Hester Theale. The adventure begins, when Sir Gareth, on his way to Brancaster (Lady Hester's house), comes across Amanda, who accounts her tale of woe. Sir Gareth knows it is his duty to restore her to her grandfather, but she refuses to supply either her grandfather's name or her lover's name. So, he is forced to take her to Brancaster, where it is his desire to offer for Lady Hester. Lady Hester, if I may take leave to mention, is entirely lacking in looks. And moreover, she is 29 yrs of age. Almost an old maid. It is not on account of love, that Sir Gareth proposes to her, but in order to satisfy his sister, by producing a heir. What happens after he reaches Brancaster & the adventures which he encounters, are best left to be read. I won't spoil the story by relating all the adventures. Instead, I'll stop here, & allow you to read it by yourself. It's quite a nice book, if you can get over the wild-spirited Amanda, (I personally couldn't stand any more of they fairy tales which she created), & the some-what rushed ending.
