Justin Alastair, the coldhearted Duke of Avon, had revenge in mind as he plucked a flamehaired urchin off the Paris streets. For Avon suspected the truth about his delicately handsome pagethat "L?" was really L?ie and none other than the wicked Comte de Saint Vire's legitimate daughter, deprived of her heritage by the comte's dastardly desire for a male heir. The duke's plan was simple: parade L?ie in front of his enemy and have his adoring, innocent ward reclaim her birthright, destroying her true father in the process. But the duke hadn't expected L?ie's breathtaking transformation or the tender emotions she awokeand he'd already set his dangerous scheme in motion.

A fabulous Georgette Heyer! I've been reading her books since I was a young girl, thanks to my mother, and I'm so glad to be able to read them in
books to young and old. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still do.

It gives such a clear picture of Society and History of the early 18th century France, woven beautifully into a story that brings historical figures alive.

I read this book dozens of years ago. It delighted me then as much as it does today. It has all the ingredients that one expects, with the added bonus of good writing. A treat that goes on giving.

THE ORIGINAL AVON ROMANCE!

2017年6月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

An absolutely great read! After the moderate success of her first novel, The Black Moth, Georgette Heyer intended doing a sequel, but the story grew and matured so much she made the unusual decision to change the character names and do a stand-alone. Both were the so-called "Georgian" period, previous to the Regency. It was her first hit, though I might not have said it was her best a couple days ago. These Old Shades was my first Heyer novel, after her true-history novel The Spanish Bride. I decided to read them all, and I've gotten to know her work so much better. I also promised to review them all, so I dipped into this for a quick refresher. You guessed it. Couldn't put it down. What's remarkable is how much more I enjoyed it this time than the first time, two years ago. Engaging and romantic, I think it has some of her best characters ever. You care so much, and these people become so real you can see and hear them. That's not schizophrenia. It's great writing.

It's the story of a thoroughly dangerous man - Justin Alastair, Duke of Avon. His dark and scandal-ridden past returns to haunt him throughout, often in the form of characters drawn into the story. The man they call "Satanas" is given a chance at redemption. He suspects he's found his soul again when he's walking down a Paris street after a night with his mistress. He's nearly knocked down by a ragged boy running from a beating. Léon is nineteen, with enormous eyes and Titian-red hair. His Grace is infamous for his chilly manner and cold blood, but on a whim, struck by the boy's appearance, he buys the child and makes him his page. From the opening description Justin may turn off the modern reader, who can probably better identify with a Regency dandy in white cravat and superfine coat, a Beau Brummell. But dandyism was born in this decadent century, and Avon is an outstanding example from page one, mincing down the street in a purple cape and red shoes with diamond-studded heels. An age of contrasts. These aristocrats walked arm in arm with male friends, toe-point danced,waved painted fans, and wore puce skirted coats drenched in lace, like Elton John in his heyday. They were also cynical, immoral, amusing, and deadly when they were crossed. The dialog for Justin is just prime, even funnier when you filter it properly. Think Scarlet Pimpernel. Justin himself goes in and out of it, his affected persona being a wall to hide his true thoughts, and old wounds.

I don't normally care for the cross-dressing-girl tales that have become common currency in historical romance, but here it works, and makes sense for reasons that later unfold. I think even with a plain book cover and no previous knowledge, a reader would catch on pretty fast that Leon's a girl. Still it's never clumsy or obvious. What is obvious is that Justin, who's forgotten how to care about anyone, is deeply touched by the child. It's also clear he has ulterior motives. With the red hair and unusual features, Justin suspects at once that Leon is the bastard child of an old enemy, the Comte de Saint-Vire. He has plans to use the boy to have revenge on the count, though as the story unfolds the reason for the resemblance is darker and more complex. This mystery sub-plot is more entertaining than the standard McGuffin, particularly once Leon is revealed to be Leonie. From that point Justin makes her his ward, planning to adopt her, which astonishes his friends, his brother and sister, and everyone else in London and Paris. Jaws drop when this man of no morals insists on all the proprieties for his beloved "infant." Justin is feared by many, and has lost friends over the years because of his behavior, but the genuinely adorable Leonie brings several of them slowly back. She's playful and at ease with her adored "Monseigneur" and will hear no word against him. Since a lot of people have more than a word, even his family, they get a fiery faceful from her, and begin to suspect there are sides to him they haven't seen. His Grace hasn't seen them either.

Leonie is a wildly eccentric character, and no one writes an eccentric quite as well as Heyer. It's probably why she's so often compared to Wodehouse, but in her hands screwballs become not only funny, but touching. Justin won't hear a word about romance with her, and says he's too old for her, even in this world where men so often married younger women. But in reality it's clear he feels she's far above him. Once he begins her transformation to a lady the mystery kicks in with a wild series of abductions, mistaken identities, balls, sword fights and some of the funniest dialog ever. When Leonie flatly states that despite what he is she loves him and trusts him completely, Justin observes, "This promises to be a new experience." It is, and a very different sort of love story.

I can't recall ever seeing a poem or preface quote in a Heyer novel, but she has one here, from poet and historian Austin Dobson, who wrote biographies of major figures in the 18th century. He reflects her view of this gaudy age, in forgiving some of the darkest of all the violent contradictions. Because, he says, when seen "through these old shades of mine, their ways and dress delight me." It's really how I felt, delighted.
