Here's the thing about Heyer. I have had people telling me for YEARS that she is a must-read and yet, still, I hadn't read. Because my tastes are questionable at best and you know, I own that. But I finally read Grand Sophy last week and it was delightful! A romp! Lovely turns of phrase! And then OH GOD BIGOTRY BIGOTRY DON'T LOOK. I was just like....o.O sucked deeper and deeper into the OH HELL NO.

And then it got good again. But nobody warned me about that!
