Cotillion

[ailbhe]

I'm doing that obviously-PMS-type crying, where I can clearly identify that as the reason for being miserable and still can't stop, and my copy of "Cotillion" by Georgette Heyer is missing. How can I possibly feel better now?!

But ... but ... but pick up your copy of "The Grand Sophy" and remember what it is like to be an empowered, self-assured woman who can make it through anything that comes your way! :-)

I haz a muff. You will have to supply your own small pistol, I'm afraid.

Actually, that whole scene is why I didn't read The Grand Sophy - I need to feel stronger than I did to brush past it.

At the risk of sounding like an uncouth caveman, comfort food?

I adore that book :)

But, but... I JUST read this and Lacking A Freddy is damn good reason to cry! D:

(Yes, I am STILL on the Georgette Heyer kick inspired by lnacrewitch and fed by yourself. Many thanks, well done, all that jazz.)

I hope you find it! Cotillion is the best feelgood book going, even if hello, lavender-clad Freddy isn't really the marrying type, now is he?

Georgette Heyer sustained me through my early 40s. I loved her and read every one of her Regency novels over and over again, after ODing on Jane Austin.

Now, for escapist stuff, I await the newest Mme Ramotswe (the African Detective Agency lady) series and Maeve Binchy. M.B.'s latest is quite good and much less the man-hating genre of the past.
