Annis Wychwood delights in her independence.

Beautiful, rich and far too busy for love, she has turned down the advances of many a hopeful suitor.

But when she becomes entangled in the affairs of a runaway heiress, she encounters the girl's guardian, the notorious Oliver Carleton. While Oliver may be a reckless and uncivil rogue, Annis can't help but be drawn towards his wild ways.

"Rapturously romantic." (Katie Fforde)

Great escapism but marred by bewildering speed of narration. Manic quality made it unnerving! Cured for me by slowing it down by adjusting the speed dial.

Enjoyable yarn

Excellent narrator aids this story of regency romance. The strong female protagonist allay the quaintness that often mar tales set in the period.

Charming and well-written

“Lady of Quality” has never been among my favourite Georgette Heyer novels but I really enjoyed the narrator’s versatility in this reading. The different voices she assumed for the many and varied characters in the novel brought the whole tale to vivid life and deepened my understanding of Annis and the predicament of being an intelligent woman in Regency times.

Excellent Narration
