Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The only question which hangs over the life of Sir Richard Wyndham, notable whip, dandy and Corinthian, is one of marriage. On the eve of making the most momentous decision of his life, he is on his way home, a little worse for drink, when he chances upon a beautiful young fugitive climbing out of a window by means of knotted sheets - and so finds a perfect opportunity for his own escape.

The Corinthian has eveything that Georgette Heyer's devoted readership came to expect and that made her one of the most popular novelists of her day and still adored by a huge audience.

A Georgette Heyer story I have read many, many times and would place, without a doubt, amongst her top 10 romances. An absolute joy.

A mad romp!

Great story line. Very entertaining in word, but interpretation of phrases and accents not well rehearsed. Makes it easy to miss some of the gaffs and confuses characters at times

Great Story - interesting pronunciation at times

Narration not well done. Poorly spoken, sounds like reading without knowledge of story or understanding of Heyer. Lovely pleasant voice though!

Not sure

Classic Heyer, and one of my favourite stories. Narration was good, but not amazing. Words all properly pronounced and some effort with the voices, but occasions when it sounded wooden. Didn’t detract from the story.

One of my favourites

I love Georgette Heyer books but I would never re-listen to this one. The person reading has a drab voice with most characters indistinguishable from each other. And I absolutely agree with another reviewer who talks about her inflection with the words Sir Richard, putting the emphasis on the word Sir and running the name together, which sounds ridiculous. So annoying.

An excellent story marred by the reader
