I‘ve been telling everyone how much I am enjoying Georgette Heyer‘s mystery novels although I‘ve never read her romances, so a friend has lent me a few. In this one an English Duke in mid C18th France gets more than he bargains for when he rescues a peasant boy from his abusive family. The atmosphere is very different from the mysteries, but there is the same strength of plotting and characterisation. Most enjoyable. #romantsy
