Book Description

Publication Date: 3 Jun 2004

Rejected by the incomparable Miss Milborne for his unsteadiness of character, wild Lord Sheringham is bent on avenging Fate and coming into his fortune. But the very first woman he should see is Hero Wantage, the young and charmingly unsophisticated chit, who has loved him since childhood ...

Friday's Child is a typically sweeping historical romance by the queen of the genre, who for fifty years won the hearts of readers worldwide and has found a new devoted readership in the twenty-first century.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Heyer favourite of mine 18 Jun 2008
By Roman Clodia TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Firstly I do adore Heyer having discovered her relatively recently, but this just isn't up there with the best of the best for me. Her books do tend to fall into cohorts and this is one with an innocent heroine and one of the young, immature heroes. Personally I prefer the darker, sardonic and more masterful types (Faro's Daughter, Regency Buck, These Old Shades, Devil's Cub) so this was never really going to work for me. Both the hero and heroice struck me as rather silly rather than charmingly innocent - but then maybe I'm a cynic!

Having said that though Heyer is still head and shoulders above most romance writers (and I don't usually read romance precisely because it's so predictable and try-hard written) - she is witty, stylish, writes wonderful dialogue and really conveys a sense of the Regency period. So while this isn't one of my favourites, I'd still recommend Heyer highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty , Charming , Excellent Characters , Heyer's best 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
What can I say about this book just pick it up and you forget everything ,you are transported back to regency england with these splendid characters. The hero and his sidekicks made me laugh out loud several times , the detail of the clothes and the period is amazing . No one can touch Georgette Heyer for regency romance

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear..... 29 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is in my opinion the best G.H book ever written, but dosent the summary look bleak! This is quite simply an amusing charming tale in which two people fall in love through some of the best Georgie Heyer antics yet...
