"I highly recommend GEORGETTE HEYER, by Jennifer Kloester--it's extremely well researched and offers a wealth of info that's fascinating to read." - Examiner.com, "The result is an absorbing and enlightening biography, a must-read for Heyer fans and all who cherish Regency romances." -- Booklist, "Kloester has opened the door on one of the most private literary icons of the past century, one whose works made and continue to make a lasting impression on readers worldwide. Meticulously researched and supported, Kloester's study is both sympathetic and exact, and paints a finely detailed portrait of the woman behind the books. An engaging, intriguing, absorbing read--history is rarely this entertaining!" - #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens, "With rare access to Heyer's private papers as well as the newly identified letters, Kloester perceptively analyzes Heyer's novels... This well-written, thoroughly researched biography is more detailed than Jane AIken Hodge's The Private World of Georgette Heyer . Heyer enthusiasts and readers interested in popular romantic historical fiction or the Regency period of English literature will enjoy this." -- Library Journal, "If you are a fan of the Regency period, and/or of Georgette Heyer , you will find this biography interesting and informative. Perhaps, like myself, you will be reading or re-reading Georgette's novels upon finishing Kloester's work." - A Garden Carred in the Pocket, "Heyer's devotees will be charmed by this engaging tour of the author's world. Kloester wisely allows all facets of Heyer's personality to emerge, depicting a feisty, humorous, accomplished woman who is more interesting than her own fictional characters." - The Washington Post, "If you are a fan of the Regency period, and/or of Georgette Heyer , you will find this biography interesting and informative.
