Acerca de esta escucha
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire.
But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is in fact a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte’s duplicity and ruin him publicly, he is charmed by Léonie’s kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man.
First published in 1926 to great commercial success, These Old Shades showcases Heyer at her romantic best and remains a charming and entertaining listen for all fans of historical romances.

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned. But what about its master—Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into her life.

Horry Winwood doesn't play by the rules. So when her family are near ruin and her sister is about to enter a loveless marriage to a wealthy man to settle the family debts, young and headstrong Horry proposes to marry him instead. As her new husband's attentions fall elsewhere, Horry feels increasingly unhappy. Then she meets the attractive and dangerous Lord Lethbridge, and her days suddenly become more exciting. But there is bad blood between Horry's husband and Lord Lethbridge, and as complications and deceptions mount, the social tangle grows ever trickier to unpick.

The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

Excellent performance!!!
This is one of my favourite books by Georgette Heyer and was hoping that the audio would be just as good. It was an excellent experience!! Sarah Nichols gave a stellar performance. She brought the characters to life in such a way that I think Ms. Heyer would have approved.
I hope she narrates some of my other faves like Friday's Child, Venetia and The Black Sheep.

Favorite!
Quirky, funny and unexpected. The characters shine through with their witty conversation and great dialogue. I love the fact that this is not PC and the characters are just who they are.. is that makes sense. Great reading too!

For the tomboys
Loved the story and the afterward. I had no idea why it read differently than the GH novels I have enjoyed before, but learning that it was written decades before its publication (when Heyer was 19?) explains a LOT. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Pig Person..🤭😂🤩
A wickedly wonderful adventurous romp. Every time Lionie call the villain Pig Person it was wildly funny. The writing was clever and the use of language was delightful.

Satisfyingly predictable
I have not read a Georgette Heyer book that I didn’t like, and she didn’t disappoint!
Though the conclusion was fairly predictable, how she got there was a delightful journey.
Between Heyer’s awesome dialogue and the talented narrator, this was a wonderful listen that I know I will enjoy again.

Much better edition
This is one of my favorite books made delightful by the performance of the reader. I couldn’t get through the earlier audio book because the narration was so nasal and poorly done. I was very happy to find this newer, unabridged version.
