Over the weekend I discovered that I have a second copy of Georgette Heyer's False Colours. I'm not quite sure how that happened, but I would be happy to pass it along to another Heyer fan, so if you're interested please just leave a comment below (and if you've read her, which is your favorite novel?). My most recent Heyer read was Faro's Daughter, which I really liked (as a matter of fact I think it is my favorite so far). To give you a teaser for False Colours:
"A missing twin. Something is very wrong, and the honourable Christopher "Kit" Fancot can sense it. Kit returns to London on leave from the dioplomatic service to find that his twin brother Evelyn has disappeared, and his extravagant mother's debts have mounted alarmingly."
"A quick minded heiress. The Fancot family's fortunes are riding on Evelyn's marriage to the self-possessed Cressy Stavely, and her formidable grandmother's approval of the match. If Evelyn fails to meet the Dowager Lady Stavely in a few days as planned, the betrothal could be off."
"A fortune in the balance. When the incorrigible Lady Fancot persuades her son to impersonate his twin (just for one night, she promises) the masquerade sets off a tangled sequence of events that engage Kit's heart far more deeply than he'd ever anticipated with his brother's fiancée--who might know much more about what's going on than she cares to reveal..."
It sounds like another fun Heyer romp through the Regency period. I think it might just make some entertaining holiday reading. I'll put names in a hat on Saturday morning and draw, so please leave your name by Friday night if you're interested. And I am happy to send abroad as well.
