About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
In all her 25 years, Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate.
Nor has she enjoyed the attentions of any man aside from her two wearisomely persistent suitors.
Then, in one extraordinary encounter, she meets a neighbour she knew only by reputation - the infamous Jasper Damerel.
Before she realises it, Venetia is encouraging a man whose way of life has scandalised the North Riding for years.
©1958 Penguin Audio (P)2021 Penguin AudioCritic Reviews
"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)
"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes.... Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)
"Rapturously romantic." (Katie Fforde)

Venetia is a masterpiece
So funny and erudite. Venetia sparkles yet has depths of heart that moves us deeply.

Delightful story
Despite having read this book many times I thoroughly enjoyed Gemma Whelan’s lively reading of Venetia. A most satisfying story with interesting characters and some wry humor it is told with good variety in the various roles. I will listen to this again and fall in love all over again with my favorite Georgette Heyer story.

Fabulous narration!
Venetia is one of my favourite Heyer books, who was so ahead of her time with strong female protagonists, witty repartee, and charming characters. Add in her brilliant capturing of times and places she sets her book, this book is brilliant as a novel, and Gemma Whelan hits exactly the correct tone, and captures every brilliant nuance of the dialogue.

Charming story, beautifully narrated.
Thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful narration of this story. It’s my favourite Georgette Heyer novel, and brought to life by Gemma Whelan. Highly recommended.

A favourite story, with great narration.
I've always loved this story, and Gemma Whelan's narration did it credit. She captured Venetia's undercurrent of laughter just as I imagined it.
