A copy of The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer. This book is volume 7 of The Uniform Collection from Heinemann, a hard to find and collectible set. The book itself is in good condition for its age. There is some minor shelf wear to the cover, and the binding and pages all appear to be in good shape. The dust jacket is quite worn and ripped in a few places. See photos for details.
Summary
Horatia Winwood is the youngest and the least attractive of the three Winwood sisters. She also has a stammer. But when the enigmatic and eminently eligible Earl of Rule offers for her oldest sister’s hand – a match that makes financial and social sense, but would break her heart – it is Horatia who takes matters into her own impetuous hands. Can she save her family’s fortune? Or is she courting disaster? Witty, charming, elegant, and always delightful, Georgette Heyer – the undisputed queen of Regency Romance – brings the whole period to life with deft precision and glorious characters.
