The Private World of Georgette Heyer

Georgette Heyer was obsessed with privacy, but Jane Aiken Hodge had access to her remaining papers and was the first biographer able to interview many of her family and friends. Published for the first time in the U.S., this biography tracks Heyer's career from teenage writer to world-wide household name. "One of the most beautiful books I know. Time and time again, on reading this book, I found myself breaking off to lift another dogeared Heyer from the shelf and lose myself in the increased pleasure of a re-reading." -Washington Post Book World
