About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Charity Steane has nothing in the world but hope.
Escaping a miserable life under her tyrannical aunt, she decides to take her chances with her estranged grandfather in London. Now it's just a matter of finding him.... And as a 'charity girl' with no dowry and no options, hope can only get her so far.
But with the help of the dashing and kind-hearted Desford and his dearest friend Hetta, it seems like Charity's fortunes might be about to change.
That is, until the surprise appearance of a long-lost relative throws things into chaos and suddenly the three friends find themselves surrounded by blackmail and scandal.
Will their efforts to do right by each other plunge them all into ruin?
©1970 Georgette Heyer (P)2021 Penguin AudioCritic Reviews
"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes [...] Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)
"I could mainline Heyer's Regency romances until the end of time and still not get bored [...] Georgette Heyer is perfect lockdown escapism." (India Knight)
"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

Great story destroyed by a most annoying reader
A great Heyer story totally destroyed by a reader who was so bad I wanted to give zero stars for performance. The reader stumbled on simple passages and made the characters sound either like they were drugged or as if they had speech impediments. Penguin should redo this book with a better reader. I want my money back.

Terrible narration
Yet another brilliant Heyer destroyed by ghastly narration. These penguin re-records are utterly dreadful.
