![]() ![]() As always, Heyer commands the setting with convincing descriptions, lively historical characters, and an authenticity that makes one believe it is truly 1746. : The Masqueraders (9780099429395) by By Heyer, Georgette and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. In the Masqueraders there are escaped Jacobite rebels, siblings cross-dressing and pretending a part, an egotistical father pulling the strings, unlikely romance, and a lot of fun. After the first couple of chapters, however, the plot unfolds to reveal Heyer's mastery. Whether reading print version or listening to audio, it takes a little concentration to sort out the Peter/Prudence and the Kate/Robin characters. ![]() The Masqueraders performed by Eleanor Yates is superb! She has a soothing alto voice, and she has mastered the careful timing needed for this difficult novel. And thankfully now, some new Penguin U.K. When older editions of Georgette Heyer's audio books started disappearing, I feared I'd lost my chance. ![]()
