Title: Arabella

Author: Georgette Heyer

Published: 1949

Rating: ★★★★

Summary: In the style of authors like Jane Austen, this is the story of Arabella who is sent to London to stay with her Godmother in the hopes of finding a suitor. She finds herself continually running into Mr. Beaumaris, London’s most eligible bachelor.

Why I Am Recommending: I recommend this for anyone who enjoys the regency era romances like those of Jane Austen, George Eliot, and the like. This book caught me off guard and I found that I really enjoyed this sweet little story. I was nervous for a copy-cat style of writing, but quickly lost that concern when I started reading. This is a wholesum and romantic novel that will help ease the void left by a finite selection of classic novels.
