Synopsis

The 2009 Naxos AudioBooks recording of Sylvester met with resounding approval and clamours for more Georgette Heyer audiobooks. Here is Venetia, a clear favourite from among Heyer's novels. In her trademark buoyant and exuberant style, Heyer tells the story of an unconventional romance, which is full of riveting dialogue and loveable, very human characters. Quick-witted, self-assured, funny and beautiful, Venetia is one of Georgette Heyer's most popular heroines. When the dashing Lord Demerel intrudes upon a quiet provincial community in the North of England, news of his scandalous past soon sets tongues wagging. In spite her of sheltered uringing, though, Venetia is singularly unfazed by the rakish Demerel, and proves to be more than a match for him.

Georgette Heyer is in a class by herself for writing intelligent gothic type literature. Always good fun and deliciously pricks the pretensions and hypocrisy of the aristocracy at that time. Delightful. Need more of her writing.
