“seasons change and our love went cold / feed the flame ’cause we can’t let go / run away”

Short shameful (?) confession: this reread of Heyer’s The Nonesuch, my secondhand embarrassment over the romantic misunderstanding was way more acute than before, as in actively wincing as I read.

I occasionally toy with doing a reread of my Heyer favourites. But it has been a long time!

It is otherwise solid second-tier Heyer, written between The Unknown Ajax and Frederica, with a top-tier narcissist secondary character. But those two scenes plus the night between them the heroine spends awake are ... ow.

Fortunately, she wrote enough you can pick just the better ones and still have a lot to read.
