About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Shot-proof, fever-proof and a veteran campaigner at the age of 25, Brigade-Major Harry Smith is reputed to be the luckiest man in Lord Wellington's army. But at the siege of Badajos, his friends foretell the ruin of his career. For when Harry meets the defenceless Juana, a fiery passion consumes him. Under the banner of honour and with the selfsame ardour he so frequently displays in battle, he dives headlong into marriage. In his beautiful child-bride, he finds a kindred spirit and a temper to match. But for Juana, a long year of war must follow....

Georgette Heyer was for over 50 years one of the most prolific, successful and best writers of historical romance. In The Spanish Bride she shows the skill that has won the hearts of a new wide audience in the 21st century.

Less dandies, beaus, carriages, patches and more light brigades, military strategy, kettles, and marching.

The strong female lead (based on real person), does not disappoint, but I don't think readers who aren't actually fans of military history will enjoy this!

This is a historical military novel
