My mother introduced me to Georgette Heyer years ago and would often stay up late rereading a favorite Georgette Heyer romance. Heyer is one of her go-to authors for a relaxing escape. After a particularly long work week, she'd often spend Friday evening curled up with The Grand Sophy or Arabella or another rediscovered classic. I've fallen in love with her novels as well because of the banter, the situational comedy, and the lovable and outspoken heroines. Plus, I love being able to talk about the books with my mother.
