The Nonesuch

I simply enjoyed the story! I am most grateful to Eve Matheson, who does not over-play the parts, as I felt was done in the Reluctant Widow. Matheson gets the wit and irony just perfect.

In the story, two admirable and intelligent lovers get star-crossed and find their way again through their own decency and common sense as well as the the help and hindrence of various other characters. And a separate scene between Tiffy and Lawrence -- shallow and self-centered throughout -- is worth reading for. I found myself laughing as Heyer continued to reveal new levels of their self-centerededness.

In any audio book, I want an author and a narrator who develop characters that I increasingly grow to like or at least understand. For a love story, this was great.

Heyer at her marevelous, amusing, historically accurate best. In The Nonesuch she overturns one stereotype after another, and just when we think we have all the characters sorted out, she offers a startling glint of sympathy for some provoking character, or silliness in someone generally wise. Eve Matheson's excellent reading helps keep me chuckling; I notice new humor each time I listen.

I have loved Georgette Heyer since I read my first book at about 13 years. And I have read them all. And have been very happy to buy each and every one Audible releases, check regularly for new ones. Nonesuch is one of my favorites, with great characters and hilarious situations. Recommend to anyone who enjoys Heyer.

Most of Gerogette Heyer's novels are famtastic, even though there are a few that are not so good. Nonesuch is a great Heyer novel. The romance is highly entertaining (even though at one time I was a little agravated with the male half of the couple). The book has great characters. There are some truly comic ones, some villians, and some georgeous ones. Georgette Heyer is one of my all time favorite authors (I have been reading, rereading, listening to and re-listening to her books for over twenty-five years!) and I have almost completed my collection of every one of her books in one or more formats(print, tape, CD or MP3). I have recommended her novels to many people, who in turn recommended her novels to others. I am now responsible for "creating" a lot of other Heyer fans. One fan told me that she would pick up Heyer whenever she was sad, sick or down because she knew that nothing bad ever happened in a Heyer book, that there would be humor and romance, and that all would turn out well. This was comforting to her. I agree.

Heyer has the remarkable talent to make characters come alive. Her understanding of human nature (noble, absurd, humorous and all other forms) is uncanny and she has the unique ability to draw these characters in words. If you read Nonesuch or one of her many other great books, you too will probably become a Heyer fan.

in spite of the goofy picture on the cover. I usually don't pay much attention to the picture on the cover of a book on Audible. For some reason though, this guy was creepy.

I am glad I overcame the creep factor and read the book. It was very enjoyable. This was actually one of the more romantic Heyer books I have read. There was actually a clutch and a kiss near the end. Heyer did such a good job of presenting a hero who knows exactly what he wants by the end of the second chapter, a heroine who never really believes him until the very end and still makes everything that comes in between interesting and enjoyable. She fleshed out several of the secondary characters more than she does in some of her other work. And the Nonesuch's male relations were pretty entertaining, as was the cross the heroine was forced to bear - the young lady she served as a companion to. Eve Matheson does a great job on Georgette Heyer books.

If you like Heyer you will enjoy this book.

The narrator does a great job of creating a new voice for every character. It's easy to distinguish between multiple characters all interacting with each other. The story itself is lighthearted and a pleasure to listen to.

I loved listened to Heyer books -- more than reading them because the use of language is so much better when HEARD, especially with the British accent. I enjoy the stories, the heroes and the heroines. I am listening to all her books on my commute, and can't wait to get back into the car!
The Nonesuch met all my expectations. Well, almost all. It ended so suddenly, that I feel like something was left out. I felt unsatisfied. I'm tempted to get the actual book to see if it really ended this way, or if the recording just cut off.

I loved this title, like I love all of Georgette Heyer's books. However, somthing is not right here...the book just shuts off. I am sure it does not end this way. Audible please check this recording out....it has a problem

An interesting story where Ms Heyer fleshes out the secondary characters more then usual. In fact I've often thought that the 'cast' took the reader's attention from the hero & heroine! Ms Heyer manages to ensure a very satisfactory ending as usual.

I've read this story a few times & while I enjoyed the book it wasn't a favourite of mine. That changed when I listened to Eve Matheson's narration; she pitches her tones & adds accents where appropriate. She brought all the characters to life; her interpretation of the spoilt heiress Tiffany's speech was so excellent I found myself muttering, 'Spoilt brat!' when Tiffany was throwing a tantrum.

Yes. Delightful romance, good narration. Totally enjoyable.

The Nonesuch himself was as usual wonderfully elegant, but I always enjoy the minor character in all of her books, such as a sister's husband, or a slightly backward friend whose dialogue is so funny, I cannot help laughing in total enjoyment at the absurdities!

Just right.

All of them.

I never tire of reading or listening to Georgette Heyer's works.
