These Old Shades<\/a><\/em> (1926) Georgette Heyer<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"I finished some good books, which left me unsure what I wanted to read next, so I turned to a favorite, These Old Shades<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

It’s an historical romance where the heroine is pretending as a boy, the hero is a horrible person to is believed beyond redemption, and there are all kinds of hi-jinks, including babies switched at birth and kidnapping.<\/p>\n

\u2018I must wear petticoats, and not say bad words, and always be with a woman. It is very hard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But why is this story so awesome? First, it’s written in 1926 and set before the French revolution. Second, Leonie.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Rupert will come and save me, but I think that I will save myself, and not wait for Rupert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s fun and a romp and has Slythern + Hufflepuff and just a delight.<\/p>\n
