The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

Publisher's summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
If you love Bridgerton, you'll love Georgette Heyer!
The charming Sophia Stanton-Lacy is a force to be reckoned with.
When Sophy is sent to stay with her London relatives, she finds her cousins in quite the tangle.
Cecilia is besotted with an attractive but feather-brained poet, Hubert has fallen foul of a money-lender and the ruthlessly handsome Charles is engaged to a pedantic bluestocking who seems to bring out the worst in him....
Fortunately, Sophy has arrived just in time to sort them all out - but Charles is eager to rid his family of her meddlesome ways. Has the grand Sophy finally met her match?
Critic reviews
"A rollicking good read that will be of particular joy to Bridgerton viewers...the permanent glister of scandal [...] ties the whole thing together." (Independent)
"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)
"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

Beautiful heiress Judith Taverner has her pick of London suitors. But her luck takes a turn for the worse when her hapless brother, Peregrine, becomes the target of a would-be-assassin. To Judith's great annoyance, their mysterious guardian - the handsome Earl of Worth - seems far more intent on wooing her than saving her brother, but all is not as it seems.

Story
The Honourable Christopher Fancot, on leave from the diplomatic service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed to find that his twin, Evelyn, has disappeared without trace. Christopher - Kit - is forced into an outrageous masquerade by the tangled affairs of his wayward family: his rigid uncle, Lord Brumby; the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple; the formidable old Lady Stavely and Evelyn's betrothed, Cressy.

one of the few penguin-heyer offerings with even v
great story= high ratings because the narrator actually likes and serves the writing instead of offering narration that appears thinks the story needs the irritating inclusion of yelling then dropping every 30 seconds-heyers charming witty involving characters and plot- pengui9n should reevaluate their recording style

It's Georgette Heyer, and it's one of her best - so that's five stars right there. The narration was also five stars, which isn't always a given. I'll be listening to this one again.

Great character development
This was a fun read. The author’s development of the characters was excellent and it was hard to leave them at the end of the story. It held my interest and at times kept me listening when my intent was to only listen for a short time.

Performance worthy of the book
First, The Grand Sophy is one of my favorite Heyer novels, along with Venetia, The Talisman Ring and The Corinthian. It’s been suggested by another reviewer that this performance is inferior to one no longer available from Audible. Not a bit of it! The first requirement - that Sophy be warm, strong and altogether entrancing - is met splendidly and the rest of the characters spring to life just as well. Even the monkey!
