Originally published in 1950.
When Lady Ombersley agrees to take in her young niece, no one expects Sophy, who sweeps in and immediately takes the ton by storm. Sophy discovers that her aunt's family is in desperate need of her talent for setting everything right: Ceclia is in love with a poet, Charles has tyrannical tendencies that are being aggravated by his grim fiancee, her uncle is of no use at all, and the younger children are in desperate need of some fun and freedom. By the time she's done, Sophy has commandeered Charles's horses, his household, and finally, his heart.

Superb submitted by hduke on July 30, 2018, 9:02pm This might be my favorite Georgette Heyer novel - full of fun, family feeling, and convoluted complications, the Grand Sophy is a splendid romp that never fails to bring a smile to my face - highly recommend.
