WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT THE NONESUCH:
A lovely, entertaining read, full of deliciously entertaining character studies, witty dialogue, a gentle secondary romance and, of course, the main love story. This is another of Heyer's 'older heroine' novels, subtle, romantic, and very enjoyable. Highly recommended
One of the wittiest stories Heyer has concocted, that will have you chuckling to yourself.
The same flashes of wit, the wonderful dialogue, and the ridiculous intrigue that are all the ingredients of a first-rate Georgette Heyer.
No other novelist recreates the manners, dress, behaviour, and language of the Regency period as well as Georgette Heyer] did.
Heyer moves into Austen territorydelightfully
