Book Review: The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer



The Grand SophyThe Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My sincerest thanks go to my friend Stephanie Yost for alerting me to the existence of this book.  Words fail to describe how much I enjoyed it.  Like Stephanie, I would give this 4.5 stars.  Plus.

My two favorite "What Readers Say" quotes from the back of the book jacket:

"There is such humor and mischief in these pages.  The characters sparkle and Sophy herself is a triumph."

"Heyer's brilliant wit and intelligent humor make her work stand head and shoulders above the rest."

This book induced hundreds of guffaws and chuckles and outright snorts from me. Think Jane Austen with added hilarity. And, like with all good chick lit, there's a delightfully happy ending.

Someday I hope to write a tenth as well as Georgette Heyer.
