What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Powder And Patch is read by Jot Davies.

If he is to win her hand, Philip must become what he is not.

In an 18th-Century England of wit, womanising and powdered wigs, provincial Philip Jettan runs the risk of irreproachability. Cleone Charteris stands in no such danger. The golden-haired, headstrong despair of men, she seeks a husband who can duel and dice with the best of them. So Philip leaves for Paris, where his father's hopes and his lover's ideals are realised but with unforeseen consequences for them both ...

A peerlessly successful and prolific romantic novelist, Georgette Heyer shows in Powder And Patch what won her a wide, devoted readership that continues to this day.

Critics Review

  • Georgette Heyer is unbeatable

    India Knight

  • My favourite historical novelist — stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours

    Margaret Drabble

  • Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to

    Katie Fforde

  • A writer of great wit and style … I’ve read her books to ragged shreds
