Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"Miss Heyer's new Regency novel is set in Bath, where she is particularly at home. Stacy Calverleigh having gambled away the family fortune is now in low water, his estates heavily mortgaged and his debts prodigious. He descends on the town on the look out for a likely heiress, and quickly makes a conquest of Fanny Wendover, a dazzling, high-spirited orphan of seventeen. Fanny's aunt, Abigail knowing Stacy's reputation, determines to put a stop to this affair, but the arrival on the scene of Stacy's uncle, Miles - The Black Sheep is one of Miss Heyer's lighter-hearted romances with a charming heroine and a most intriguing hero - myserious, good humoured, cynical, outrageous and in the end irresistible."
