Publisher Description

A reader favorite from the Queen of Regency Romance, The Grand Sophy is an utterly hilarious and completely endearing story of a charming young heroine and the outrageous lengths she goes to solve everyone else's problems, and the surprises in store for everyone!

When Sir Horace Stanton-Lacy is ordered to South America on diplomatic business, he parks his only daughter, Sophy, with his sister in Berkeley Square. Forward, bold, and out-spoken, Sophy sweeps in and immediately takes the ton by storm.

Upon her arrival, Sophy can see that her cousins are in a sad tangle: Ceclia is in love with a poet, Charles is engaged to a dour bluestocking, her uncle is of no use at all, and the younger children are in desperate need of some fun and freedom. They all need her help and it's providential that Sophy arrives when she does.

The Grand Sophy

This was my wonderful introduction to the world of Georgette Heyer. I first read The Grand Sophy when I was 11 and I'll turn 60 this year. I've read all of Georgette Heyer's Regency historical novels, and read them all over and over again.

The Grand Sophy is in the tradition of most of Heyer's heroines - strong, capable, calm, take-charge, humorous, lovable and attractive in all ways possible (including sexual tension simmering just under the surface without being explicit or acknowledged by the characters or the author).

The hallmark of Heyer's romances is the clash & attraction between hero & heroine, and the inventive merry journey from initial (intense) dislike through obstacles to the final destination of love.
