Georgette Heyer Again

I have just listened to BBC radio 4 programme "A Good Read" where they discussed Georgette Heyer's books.  How I longed to join in and champion her novels!  The lady presenter loved her, the young man was fairly luke-warm but my lovely Peter White, the blind broadcaster was, s most disparaging.  Only to be expected, I suppose, because the books are, after all, women's books.  But what a lovely comforting read! No mention was made of the humour in the exchanges between the main characters, especially in "The Reluctant Widow"  and "The Grand Sophy".  Who cares if the plots are basically the same. This can be said of Jane Austin and many others.  These books are "A Good Read".
