These old shades

Annoying characters. DNF.

This is not usually a book I would choose to read, I generally steer clear of romances. But that is what is so great about a book club. It introduces you to genres out of your usual reading zone.

I found the beginning of the book rather slow and tedious and there is not much in the way of a plot at all. However, Heyer won me over when I read the chapter “The Indignation of Mr Manvers” and found myself laughing out loud. From that moment on “These Old Shades” was a joy to read with dazzling dialouge and way OTT characters. I am glad I spent the time on this novel.
