6/20/2023 0 Comments These old shades book![]() ![]() The title of the book, These Old Shades, is a subtle allusion to the fact that this book is a far superior reworking of Georgette Heyer’s first book, The Black Mo th, a book she wrote for the amusement of her brother who was ill. It features two of Heyer’s most memorable characters: Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, and Leonie, whom he rescues from a life of ignomy and comes to love and marry. Set in the Georgian period, about 20 years before the Regency, These Old Shades is considered to be the book that launched Heyer’s career. ![]() As to her review of These Old Shades- please enjoy. There is not one tiny detail of Georgette’s novels that escapes Lady Anne’s attention or opinion. Smart, sassy, fabulous, well tressed and well dressed, she has read every GH book backwards and forwards. Lady Anne has read Georgette Heyer’s novels for most of her years upon this earth. ![]() Inquiring readers: I have no doubt you shall enjoy this post by my good friend, Lady Anne, an expert when it comes to the subject of Georgette Heyer. ![]()
