Brought to you by Penguin.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a city man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter.

For more than 50 years Georgette Heyer brought romance and adventure to a wordwide audience, and Civil Contract shows how she continues to be loved today.

Coming to this straight from Devil’s Cub, the contrast could not have been greater. Dramatic scenes and furious duels on the one hand, to the careful growing and acceptance of life, relationships, and maturation in the other. Both are excellent stories, but the calmer pace of this one drew out beautifully nuanced people and relationships, and it felt potentially quite realistic. Nobody is demonised, everyone is understood. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent story, great characters

More serious than some if ms Heyer ‘s other books but I was driven to turn every page. A wonderful story.

Couldn’t put it down

The story is first-rate, but the narration suffers a bit from the narrator's inability to pronounce "lief" and "mien" and a couple of other archaic, but not that unusual, words. There are some odd stress patterns as well, and sometimes it is hard to know which character is speaking. But it is not a bad narration overall, and it does not spoil the book.

Excellent story, flawed narration

One of my favourite Heyer. I almost gave up listening because of the almost robotic, irritating narration. Somewhere after the second chapter I think, the reading improved and I really enjoyed the performance.

Well drawn characters, gentle humour and a dash of Georgian history thrown in. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Another lovely take from Georgette Heyer
