Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Mela on November 07, 2022

One of the lighter versions of GH. It was a mix of an adventure and romance, of course in the classic Heyer's style. One of the shorter. I think, next to Arabella it is a good choice for your first GH novel. There were all elements of Heyer wit and wisdom. What I liked the most (what I found the most......more
