Product Description

Review

"Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to." - Katie Florde. "My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours." - Margaret Drabble. "A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds." - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph. "Sparkling" - Independent. "Every girl, whatever her age, needs her own complete set of Heyer titles. More than romantic they are witty, elegant, stylish and the best comedies of manners since Jane Austen. Required reading for everyone." - Diane Pearson"

Product Description

Robin and Prudence Merriot have been dissemblers since they were children. And in this age of slippery politics, they need to be. So it is nothing for them to rescue a rich heiress from her abductor. But once committed to their masquerade, they must see it through.

5.0 out of 5 stars my most favorite Georgette Heyer Novel so far..., Nov 22 2008

By	Jane Austen "Carolyn" (Niagara Falls, On, Canada) - See all my reviews

This is my most favorite Georgette Heyer Novel so far. Started in the morning and can not put it down. Though things may not all add up, but don't I love Sir Anthony! A montain, should be in every girl's dream.

5.0 out of 5 stars still makes for fun/good rereading, April 7 2004

By	tregatt (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Masqueraders (Mass Market Paperback)

Another one of my favourite Georgette Heyer romance novels -- though truth to tell I have so many favourite Georgette Heyer novels that I've begun to think that it may be actually more enlightening to list the ones that I believe only merit 3 1/2 stars! But, with a plot can (successfully) boast of possessing the elements of romance, adventure and intrigue, "The Masqueraders" definitely does merit a 5 star rating.

Prudence Merriot and her brother, Robin, are back in England again because their father (affectionately dubbed by his children as "the old gentleman") has a plan to restore their fortunes. Used to a life on the run (the Merriots, or rather Robin, were involved in the most recent Jacobin uprising) and of adventure, both Prudence and Robin are beginning to find such a life chafing, esp now that they've met the elegant Sir Anthony Fanshawe and the enchanting Miss Letty Grayson. Both Sir Anthony and Letty are members of the ton, and would look for utter respectability from their potential spouses. Would either ever contemplate tying themselves to Prudence or Robin with their shady pasts and their rascally father? And on top of it all there is a further complication: Prudence is masquerading as a man, and Robin as a woman! How on earth can the Merriot siblings hope to woo and be wooed when they're both pretending to be something that they are not!

What I rather liked about "The Masqueraders," aside from the cleverly done cross dressing subplot, was that Ms Heyer showed us that a hero and heroine could be sensible, quietish and pleasantly good looking and still be the kind of hero and heroine that most readers would thrill to -- heroes and heroines didn't always have to be devastatingly good looking or rakish. Prudence and Sir Anthony are (both) my type of hero and heroine, and are the perfect foils for Letty and Robin -- the better looking and more dramatic couple. And really liking both the hero and heroine, I've found, can go a long way to making a novel a lot more enjoyable. So that, even though the language was at times a bit dated, my whole hearted liking of Prudence, Sir Anthony, Robin and Letty, together with a very swiftly paced and exciting storyline, made "The Masqueraders" a thoroughly fun reread.

3.0 out of 5 stars hmmm...., May 30 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Masqueraders (Hardcover)

I always like all of Georgette Heyer's books, ever since I read 'The Devil's Cub.' This book was not as good as 'devil's cub'. It's just not plausible. I mean, in this book there are these 2 people(brother & sister), Prudence & Robin Merriot & they exchange roles & change names. i.e, Prudence becomes a man, while Robin disguises himself as a woman. And then the story unfolds. I won't bother repeating the whole story, but it just wasn't upto her usual standards. But I'll say this for her, she sure writes well & her description of the people & their dresses etc are given so vividly that u can almost see them.
