The enjoyment comes not so much from the plot but from the dialogue (and the fantastically detailed world Heyer creates through her incredible research). But when he comes north to inspect his unusual inheritance at Broom Hall in the West Riding, his arrival leads to the most entertaining of ramifications.Īs with most Heyer novels, you know how this is going to end from the moment the characters are introduced, which is fine. Sir Waldo Hawkridge – wealthy, handsome, eligible, illustrious, and known as The Nonesuch for his athletic prowess- believes he is past the age of falling in love. Consistency and quality are certainly traits to be admired, even if it’s not high literature.Ī brief summary of The Nonesuch by Georgette Heyer: Yes, sneer if you must, but I get more enjoyment out of her novels than I do from any other author. ![]()
