Summary: hmmm....
Comment: I always like all of Georgette Heyer's books, ever since I read 'The Devil's Cub.' This book was not as good as 'devil's cub'. It's just not plausible. I mean, in this book there are these 2 people(brother & sister), Prudence & Robin Merriot & they exchange roles & change names. i.e, Prudence becomes a man, while Robin disguises himself as a woman. And then the story unfolds. I won't bother repeating the whole story, but it just wasn't upto her usual standards. But I'll say this for her, she sure writes well & her description of the people & their dresses etc are given so vividly that u can almost see them.

Summary: Classic Heyer
Comment: "~The Masqueraders was the first Heyer novel I ever read, and it hooked me right away. Georgette Heyer takes the most unlikely characters, situations, and dialogue, and turns them into an effervescent treat. Nothing that happens is believable, but she tells it with such conviction that you don't care! man-mountain with perspicacity, midnight swordfights, masquerades-within-masquerades, and the most high-handed foppish audacity possible embedded in one old gentleman, this book makes for extremely entertaining reading.

Summary: The Masqueraders is the epitome of Regency writing.
Comment: For over a decade now, my mother and I have shared a passion for Heyer and her magnificent works! Each of us has different titles and we each enjoy the marvellous stories. Not only does Heyer have an amazing grasp of the period; she also has smart, infectiously funny dialogue. I have been reading Geogette Heyer novels for years, and I have to say that The Masqueraders is her best. Set in the period immediately after the failed Jacobite rebellion, Prudence falls in love with a staid, sober Sir Anthony. However enchanting the central love tangle may be, like all of Heyer's other novels, the secondary characters steal the show! I keep having to replace my rather tattered copy, because I re-read this one every year or so!
