Our November meeting is our Virtual Book Club. This quarter we are reading our fanfiction selection: Georgette Heyer’s The Grand Sophy. The meeting will be facilitated by member Nancy Martin Young.
About the Book
A reader favorite from Georgette Heyer, The Grand Sophy is an utterly hilarious and completely endearing story of a charming young heroine and the outrageous lengths she goes to solve everyone else’s problems, and the surprises in store for everyone!
When Sir Horace Stanton-Lacy is ordered to South America on diplomatic business, he parks his only daughter, Sophy, with his sister in Berkeley Square. Forward, bold, and out-spoken, Sophy sweeps in and immediately takes the ton by storm.
Upon her arrival, Sophy can see that her cousins are in a sad tangle: Ceclia is in love with a poet, Charles is engaged to a dour bluestocking, her uncle is of no use at all, and the younger children are in desperate need of some fun and freedom. They all need her help, and it’s providential that Sophy arrives when she does.
