À propos de cet audio
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire.
But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is in fact a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte’s duplicity and ruin him publicly, he is charmed by Léonie’s kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man.
First published in 1926 to great commercial success, These Old Shades showcases Heyer at her romantic best and remains a charming and entertaining listen for all fans of historical romances.

These Old Shades is a delight from beginning to end
Georgette Heyer wrote this book when she was 20, and it still stands up well nearly a century later. This version is beautifully read by Sarah Nichols, and she voices the different characters in a way that keeps them individually identified from beginning to end, from Leonie’s mischievous tones to the Duke of Avon’s drawl.
I was first introduce to Georgette Heyer’s books by a friend during my first year of University, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve collected her works three times now, and I return to her stories every few years. I highly recommend her work, and this is a fabulous introduction to her romances. While she is most known for her Regency novels, this work, set in the times when Madame de Pompadour was the official mistress of Louis XV, so somewhere around 1750, and you can almost hear the rustle of silken robes, and the smell of fine perfumes.
