4.05
Georgette Heyer's "Cotillion" is a delightful and engaging regency romance that offers a charming blend of wit, humor, and intrigue. The story revolves around the impoverished young gentleman Freddy Standen, who is suddenly informed by his wealthy great-aunt that he is to be married to one of her wards, Miss Kitty Charing. However, Freddy's easygoing nature and lack of interest in marriage lead him to propose a daring plan: he will select a husband for Kitty from among her many cousins, all of whom are vying for her fortune. As the cousins gather at the great-aunt's estate, the stage is set for a series of romantic entanglements, misunderstandings, and comedic situations. Each character is distinctly drawn, with their own quirks and motivations, making for a rich and engaging cast. From the dashing and arrogant Jack Westruther to the shy and retiring Oliver, the cousins provide a lively backdrop to the central romance between Freddy and Kitty. Heyer's mastery of the regency setting is on full display in "Cotillion," with detailed descriptions of the fashions, manners, and social customs of the time. Her writing is sharp and witty, with a keen ear for dialogue that perfectly captures the spirit of the era. The novel is also a masterclass in romantic tension, as Freddy and Kitty dance around their feelings for each other, never quite sure if they are on the same page. Overall, "Cotillion" is a delightful and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of regency romance and Austen-style comedy of manners. Its engaging plot, memorable characters, and sparkling dialogue make it a standout in the genre, and a testament to Heyer's skill as a writer. Whether you're a seasoned fan of regency romance or new to the genre, "Cotillion" is a must-read that will leave you smiling long after you've turned the final page...
