Resumen del Editor

Brought to you by Penguin.

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt. It is Lord Oversley, father of Adam's first love, who tactfully introduces him to Mr Jonathan Chaleigh, a city man of apparently unlimited wealth with no social ambitions for himself, but with his eyes firmly fixed on a suitable match for his one and only daughter.

For more than 50 years Georgette Heyer brought romance and adventure to a wordwide audience, and Civil Contract shows how she continues to be loved today.

A favorite Heyer!

The story is great, an impoverished Viscount marries the daughter of a wealthy cit. I have read the book many times. My only complaint is with the narrator who is very flat in reading the story with little inflection.

Wonderful

I havent read this title on over 50 years. It did not appeal when I was romantic teenager. Today it is a wonderfully crafted romance, set in the domestic background of the Napoleonic wars. The family at home continuing with daily routine while waiting for news to trickle back from the front.

A grown-up Heyer story

Heyer writes with gentle humor and adult feelings. No boisterous balloon rides or duels or masquerades, just nice people trying to make their way in the world. I really like this one.

Delightful

I’ve avoided this book for years, having first taken a dislike to it when I was foolishly romantic. But now, with a degree of maturity, and this well read narration, I think it has become a favourite

Great author

I wish writers of today would take notes on how this book and his author wrote! No sex! No dirty words...no violence or abuse!
Well written and interesting story. It can be done; there are plenty of people like me who like clean books!

All narration sounds like similar men's voices

I love Georgette Heyer's novels, but Dominic Thorburn doesn't do her credit.

Most of his men's voices are so similar that I must keep track of who's speaking in a back-and-forth. And all the women also have deep voices. Julia's hysterical "No, no, no!" could easily be a middle aged man shouting the same thing.

Really boring

Too much pointless dialogue. Too many side characters. Too many distractions. I was really bored with the characters. I found the heroine and hero very boring, too. I don’t really understand the point of this book.
