Heyer is noted to be the gold standard by which romantic historicals are judged, but don't let that mislead you into thinking this is some kind of sugary, ladies -only novel. Originally published in 1937, her writing is fresh and enjoyable . The description of the Waterloo battle itself is compelling, in fact, made me think I could run into Sharpe at any moment.
