    About this ebook

    "I howled in laughter while reading this, and it reminded me why I love this genre in general so much. Begad, it’s good."
    — Megan Frampton, best-selling author of Lady Be Bad

    "All the fun of discussing a favorite book with someone who loves it just as much as you do, but who is so much funnier than you are as well."
    — Clara Shipman, Heyer Society (contributor)

    Literary criticism has never been so hilarious! Here, historical romance maven Rachel Hyland explores the great Georgette Heyer's seminal masterwork The Black Moth, taking a chapter-by-chapter look at the book's genius, along with an unflinching analysis of its problems and prejudices. A must for any Heyer fan!
