Book Review of False Colours

False Colours
False Colours
Author: Georgette Heyer
Genres: Literature & Fiction, Romance
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 1


With a fairly cute, though unoriginal, premise--"False Colours" held some promise of being one of Georgette Heyer's charming Regency romances. Unfortunately, the story never really got off the ground. The characters lacked the usual sparkle of Heyer's writing. All I can assume is that this book was written hurriedly to fulfill a contract obligation. If you have never read a Georgette Heyer, I highly recommend starting off with a different one (such as "Arabella" or "Frederica") Only read "False Colours" if you already love Heyer's works and can account for an off book here or there!
