The young (well, twenty-nine...horrors!), beautiful, headstrong, and wealthy Miss Annis Wychwood has rejected many unsuitable suitors, and decides she'll create an independent life of her own. Annis, by chance, soon befriends Lucilla and Ninian (a runaway heiress and her admirable male escort) and takes them under her wing and into her home. When Lucilla's rakish guardian, Mr. Oliver Carleton, arrives on the scene, all sorts of sparks begin to fly. Loaded with lovable characters and delightful repartee, Lady of Quality is a delectable addition to Georgette Heyer's canon of charming romances.
