Frederica counts among my top half-dozen Heyers, for its resourceful and Determined heroine, and the way in Which the grand Marquess of Alverstoke finds himself drawn into the lives of Frederica and her family. Her siblings are a delight, Especially Felix and Charis, and the various adventures and scrapes from Alverstoke Which has to rescue them are hilarious. As usual, Heyer's cast of minor characters are very well drawn, and as a result this is a book to treasure. Brilliant!
