Georgette Heyer remains an enduring international bestseller, read and loved by four generations of readers and extolled by today's bestselling authors. Despite her enormous popularity she never gave an interview or appeared in public. Georgette Heyer wrote her first novel, The Black Moth, when she was seventeen in order to amuse her convalescent brother. It was published in 1921 to instant success and ninety years later it has never been out of print. A phenomenon even in her own lifetime, to this day she is the undisputed queen of regency romance. During ten years of research into Georgette Heyer's life and writing, Jennifer Kloester has had unlimited access to Heyer's notebooks and private papers and the Heyer family records, and exclusive access to several untapped archives of Heyer's early letters. Engaging, authoritative, and meticulously researched, Georgette Heyer: Biography of a Bestseller offers a comprehensive insight into the life and writing of a remarkable and ferociously private woman.… (plus d'informations)

I don't usually read biographies but this author is one I grew up with. I enjoyed the historical detail. I'm not sure I rea9lly learned much about the woman herself but she did have the reputation of being a recluse so it is probably hard to mail down a complex personality.

Many excerpts from her letters and the addition of photographs, make this a treasure for Georgette Heyer fans. ( )

Recommend this for readers of Heyer. Really interesting look at a prolific and influential writer. If her books hadn't given a hint to her noxious personal views this book will certainly open your eyes. I also really enjoyed getting a snapshot of current events for when her novels were published. The extra details specific to publishing were of interest to me, as well.

I also want to highlight the narrator who did a superb job. ( )
