Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Powder and Patch is read by Jot Davies.
If he is to win her hand, Philip must become what he is not.
In an 18th-Century England of wit, womanising and powdered wigs, provincial Philip Jettan runs the risk of irreproachability. Cleone Charteris stands in no such danger. The golden-haired, headstrong despair of men, she seeks a husband who can duel and dice with the best of them. So Philip leaves for Paris, where his father's hopes and his lover's ideals are realised but with unforeseen consequences for them both....
A peerlessly successful and prolific romantic novelist, Georgette Heyer shows in Powder and Patch what won her a wide, devoted readership that continues to this day.

Not a favourite Heyer
Lacks the wit and character of Heyer's usual style. The narration didn't feel sincere, or like a good match for the tone. I only half- listened to this book and as a major Heyer fan, don't recommend it.

Joy Davies’ performance gives a fresh perspective
This 100 year old romance still has charm in spite of its lacking the subtleties and deep characterisations that are so splendid in Heyer’s later works. I gained a different perspective on the writing however, as Jot Davies drew out nuances that my own reading had not and I enjoyed it immensely. He is an excellent reader and I will be looking for other books he has done.

Not Georgette Heyer
Can’t believe this is a Georgette Heyer! It is boring and the dialogue is stilted - not at all like her other stories.
Really disappointing
