'TOP TEN' REGENCY NOVELS |
These titles are my very personal choices for top ten Regencies. They are books I return to again and again just to visit with the characters and delight in their wonderful stories. In no particular order: 1. Deirdre and Don Juan by Jo Beverley Published in 1993 by Avon Books 2. A Gypsy at Almack's by Chloe Cheshire Published in 1993 by Harper Paperbacks 3. Love's Duet by Patricia Veryan Published in 1979 by Fawcett Crest 4. Miss Whittier Makes a List by Carla Kelly Published in 1994 by Signet Books 5. Frederica by Georgette Heyer Published by Pan Books in 1968; many reissues 6. Persuasion by Jane Austen first published 1817; many editions available 7. The Rogue's Lady by Marian Devon Published by Fawcett; 1982 8. Miss Dower's Paragon by Gayle Buck Published by Signet; 1993 9. The Runaways by Barbara Hazard Published by Signet; 1997 10. Lady Elizabeth's Comet by Sheila Simonson Published by Walker; 1985 |
There is a possibility for change here as I read and re-read and have my memory refreshed. There should be something by Clare Darcy on the list, but I've needed to re-read her work for years. Also, I have limited myself to one title per author. In the case of some writers such as Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Carla Kelly that was almost impossible.
