Sophia “Sophy” Stanton-Lacy is sent to stay with her relatives in London. She makes an impression immediately. Sophy isn’t about to let her relatives be the quiet group they’re turning into. Charles Ombersely took over as head of his family to protect them from ruin. His betrothed thinks the family needs to change to fit her strict standards. Charles is about to discover that he’s not the person his family needs. When THE GRAND SOPHY comes to stay, things will never be the same.
THE GRAND SOPHY by Georgette Heyer is the story of a visiting relative and how she’s trying to help her family with their situation—an independent young woman who has spent her life with her ambassador father traveling all over the continent. Sophia Stanton-Lacy is about to be introduced to her family she’s barely met when her father wants her to stay in London and maybe marry while there. The Ombersely family isn’t expecting the young woman who shows up by the description given by her father. THE GRAND SOPHY is a story of family drama that only gets worse when a pet monkey is thrown into the mix. A young woman who has seen the world and supposedly knows nothing of the ways of the upper class of London society but seems to keep her antics just shy of scandal. She’s determined to turn the family around from the course they’re on, bring out their true nature and get the results everyone wants. Georgette Heyer’s THE GRAND SOPHY has humor and high jinks that keep the reader wondering what will happen next and what situation the main characters will find themselves in. This author brings realism to the era and a twist that the reader may not know is coming. Heyer is considered one of the authors to begin the Regency/Georgian romance genre with her writing.
A reader favorite from the Queen of Regency Romance, 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.
