Arabella by Georgette Heyer

Arabella by Georgette Heyer
Fans of Jane Austen will delight in Georgette Heyer's regency novels featuring strong, if sometimes a bit silly, female protagonists. Wit and humor abound with just the right amount of love story added in to make Heyer's work light and satisfying.

  2. I love Jane Austen too!

    I enjoyed Arabella, though I think many people start off reading The Grand Sophy. If you read it (or an Mary Stewart) you'll have to let me know what you think. :)
