Title: A Favorite
Review: Of course, most of Georgette Heyer's Regencies are favorites of mine, or close to it. I love the stories she tells, the British humor; I love the way she uses "types" in different roles...for instance, while the dark, dashing, handsome hero is to be expected, Ms. Heyer would offer one with a secondary, less appealing, character as hero and then proceed to make him one of your all-time favorites too, when you were sure you'd be bored out of your mind. Friday's Child is not of that type, tho, here she's got an appealing, if a tad selfish (that changes), hero.Friday's Child is a sprightly story, as well crafted as her others. The thing I absolutely cherish about her books is the accuracy of her detail. From the expressions used in speech of various classes, to the clothing, the carriages, every historical detail in her books is correct, and that alone makes her books stand out as excellent, Friday's Child is a keeper.
