These Old Shades
(eAudiobook)
Description
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire. But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is in fact a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte's duplicity and ruin him publicly, he is charmed by Léonie's kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man. First published in 1926 to great commercial success, These Old Shades showcases Heyer at her romantic best and remains a charming and entertaining listen for all fans of historical romances. "Heyer is the grand master of historical romance…{with} wry humor and deftness in witty badinage. This is an old-fashioned melodrama and fast-paced adventure…narrated by Sarah Nichols. Her delivery of the sardonic exchanges between characters, drawling or snappy as the occasion demands, is marvelous."
