Sylvester or The Wicked Uncle

Review by heyes


By Georgette Heyer  




Genre: Regency, Romance, Historical Fiction

Rating: Y

Content: References to past indiscretions

Summary:
The arrogant, yet correctly civil, Duke of Salford knows exactly what he wants for a bride. Phoebe Marlow is not it. She meets none of his requirements and she is the author of a novel that is causing all kinds of gossip...and he is the main character.

Personal Review:
I loved it. Georgette Heyer’s style of writing is witty and clever. Georgette Heyer is great at character development and she is so historically accurate(at least as far as I know.) I love the clear growth of the relationships between characters. Phoebe is amazing. If you like Pride and Prejudice you will also enjoy this one. The reference to previous indiscretions(typical for period novels) is vague so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If you are concerned you can find it mentioned between pages 1-16. After that there is no reference it.
