Lady of Quality

Lady of Quality (1972) Georgette Heyer

Miss Annis Wychwood believes she is too old for marriage, and not wanting to spend the rest of her life being little more than an aunt to her brother’s children, she insists on setting up house for herself. Of course, no unmarried woman can live alone, so her cousin is invited to live with her, much to Miss Wychwood’s (silent and polite) annoyance.

Then, into her life stumbles Miss Lucilla Carleton, who is escaping her aunt who is attempting to force her into a marriage everyone believed her late father would have wanted. Annis takes Lucilla in, and in doing so, brings Lord Carlton–notorious rake–into her life.
Rating: 7/10
