The Foundling
Oct. 3rd, 2012 11:52 pmI loved Friday's Child, and I adored Cotillion, but now after reading The Foundling, I don't know if I'll ever find any other Georgette Heyer novel that can replace it in my heart.
Oh, *Gilly*.
The sweetest and kindest young man ever, and also the Duke of Sale. Orphaned from birth, and sickly in childhood, he has been protected all his life by his stern uncle and devoted servants. Stifled by their ceaseless concern, but too gentle to hurt their feelings, he dreams of life as plain Mr Dash of Nowhere in Particular.
When his cousin is blackmailed, Gilly is inspired to take on the challenge of solving the problem, going incognito, and having the first adventure of his life.
(And yeah, I've nominated the fandom for Yuletide.)
