Originally published in 1950 and having now sold over 30 million copies, Georgette Heyer’s The Grand Sophy is a must-read book for anyone who liked Bridgerton. The story follows Sophy, daughter of Sir Horace Station-Lacy, who is sent to live with her aunt and cousins in London after her father’s departure to South America on business. Upon arrival in Berkeley Square Sophy is shocked at the sad state of affairs that her cousins find themselves in. Cecilia is besotted with a thoughtless poet; Hubert has fallen out of favour with a foul-tempered moneylender and the Ombersley’s heir Charles is in an unhappy engagement. But as Sophy endeavours to resolve her cousins’ misfortunes, she finds herself obstructed at every hurdle by Charles, who resents her involvement. This humorous Regency romance is a story of intrigue, love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
