When sassymonkey blogged about Georgette Heyer, I thought surely I’ve read some of her books and clicked over to Amazon to look. Hmm Some of them look familiar but maybe I haven’t read any?
I put a few of her books, the ones very specifically blogged by sassymonkey, onto the to be read list for TW’s mom to read and figured I could read them too. When I was in between books, with nothing I really wanted to read sitting on my shelf, I made TW sneak The Grand Sophy off of her mom’s TBR stack so I could read it.
And I loved it.
It made me laugh. It reminded me very much of “Bringing up Baby” – that crazy woman overwhelms the uptight guy sort of storyline with everything going hog wild nuts at the end. And yes, a happy ending.
Loved it.
Hmm I hadn’t thought of it as being a bit like Bringing Up Baby but yes, I do see the connection. The next time I read this I’m not going to be able to get Hepburn and Grant out of my head.
I know this isn’t the point, but that is one of my most favorite movies EVER!!
Love Georgette Heyer–she did mysteries, too, I believe. That woman could write! I have a number of her books and will never let them go.
Also, “Bringing Up Baby” is a delightful romp. I can see the connection.
