Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
Charity Steane has nothing in the world but hope.
Escaping a miserable life under her tyrannical aunt, she decides to take her chances with her estranged grandfather in London. Now it's just a matter of finding him.... And as a 'charity girl' with no dowry and no options, hope can only get her so far.
But with the help of the dashing and kind-hearted Desford and his dearest friend Hetta, it seems like Charity's fortunes might be about to change.
That is, until the surprise appearance of a long-lost relative throws things into chaos and suddenly the three friends find themselves surrounded by blackmail and scandal.
Will their efforts to do right by each other plunge them all into ruin?

Histoire
Horry Winwood doesn't play by the rules. So when her family are near ruin and her sister is about to enter a loveless marriage to a wealthy man to settle the family debts, young and headstrong Horry proposes to marry him instead. As her new husband's attentions fall elsewhere, Horry feels increasingly unhappy. Then she meets the attractive and dangerous Lord Lethbridge, and her days suddenly become more exciting. But there is bad blood between Horry's husband and Lord Lethbridge, and as complications and deceptions mount, the social tangle grows ever trickier to unpick.

Histoire
The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes [...] Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)
"I could mainline Heyer's Regency romances until the end of time and still not get bored [...] Georgette Heyer is perfect lockdown escapism." (India Knight)
"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

Almost perfect
The one problem I had with this narration was the accent used for the character Charity. It grated on the ear. I think this narrator, who was good in all other respects, could have created something a little less fake and jarring. Luckily she’s a relatively minor character or I would not have finished listening despite loving Georgette Heyer’s regency books.

Not a strong narrator
Another entertaining story, with an especially well-drawn ‘confidence man’. The narrator manages the male voices adequately, but by no means with the aplomb of a Phyllida Nash or Eve Matheson. It’s the female voices, however, that are cartoonish and absurd, completely ruining the listening experience. The older recording also left much to be desired, but the new recording was a great disappointment. Many words are simply mispronounced, as well, which just seems unnecessary.
I will stay with my original version and hoping for a better remake in the future.

Not worth it
Heyer’s earlier books are much better. Less jargon, characters and plot line are more thoughtfully developed elsewhere.
Narrator’s voice for Charity is unpleasant. Pass!
