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!"

"Heyer moves into Austen territory—delightfully!"
