Lady of Quality (by Georgette Heyer)

Lady of Quality by Georgette Heyer
(Amazon UK link)
'Lady of Quality' is an excellent historical novel by Georgette Heyer.

The main protagonist is Annis, a most independent young lady. She meets a runaway girl, and befriends her.

Annis is attracted, against her better judgement, to the girl's guardian, the somewhat unusual Oliver Carleton. Great characterisation, excellent writing. The usual sub-plots and excitement ensue, with a satisfying ending.

I had read this book several times before but, as ever, enjoyed it thoroughly.

A slightly longer review of 'Lady of Quality' can be found here, after a further re-reading some years later.
