Title: A Wonderful Love Story
Review: This was the first book by Georgette Heyer that I ever read--over 40 years ago, and it hooked me on her writing. The story of Lord Sherringham ("Sherry"), spurned by his love, his rebound marriage to Hero, the penniless orphan,and the inevitable culture clash that ensues, as he introduces his naive bride to the world of London society. Sherry is experienced, and attempts to continue his carefree bachelor lifestyle after marriage. To the innocent Hero, having had no opportunity to learn the social mores of the class she has been dropped into, everything he does is appropriate, including drinking, gambling, and bad language, and she attempts to imitate him, with comic--but (to him)--ruinous results. This is a delightful book, a terrific story, written by a master of the Regency Romance genre.
