About this listen
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire.
But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is in fact a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte’s duplicity and ruin him publicly, he is charmed by Léonie’s kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man.
First published in 1926 to great commercial success, These Old Shades showcases Heyer at her romantic best and remains a charming and entertaining listen for all fans of historical romances.

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned. But what about its master—Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into her life.

Excellent performance!!!
This is one of my favourite books by Georgette Heyer and was hoping that the audio would be just as good. It was an excellent experience!! Sarah Nichols gave a stellar performance. She brought the characters to life in such a way that I think Ms. Heyer would have approved.
I hope she narrates some of my other faves like Friday's Child, Venetia and The Black Sheep.

Loved the story and the afterward. I had no idea why it read differently than the GH novels I have enjoyed before, but learning that it was written decades before its publication (when Heyer was 19?) explains a LOT. Thoroughly enjoyable.
