Venetia / Georgette Heyer 577 p.
Venetia Layton is living a very quiet life, secluded in the country with her lame brother, Aubrey. When rakish Lord Damerel returns to his home, next door to the Layton's, Venetia makes the choice to acknowledge Damerel when Aubrey is taken to Damerel's home to recover. Venetia makes an amazing discovery, Damerel is quite the gentleman. Both Venetia and Aubrey become friends of his. Others take great exception to this friendship. The story is complicated by Venetia's older brother failing to return home promptly from war. Instead comes his bride and her indomitable mother. This love story is told with humor. This is a delightful read to be enjoyed again and again.
