I'd never read [a:Georgette Heyer|18067|Georgette Heyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1202767292p2/18067.jpg] before and found myself rather stunned no one had introduced me to her before.

It's so very regency that some of the terms and linguistics were completely foreign, but the characters were all too relatable, endearing, funny; even the annoying ones were only infuriating to other characters and not to the reader.

[b:Frederica|311196|Frederica|Georgette Heyer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173644878s/311196.jpg|2128291] is a book built on characters and it's done so well that the plot is only a vehicle for their interactions and transformations which is fantastic. I adored Frederica and Alverston and the lot of them.
