In all her twenty-five years, lovely Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate, nor enjoyed the attentions of any but her two wearisomely persistent suitors.

In Venetia, Georgette Heyer presents a captivating tale of romance and rediscovery, set against the backdrop of regency-era England, filled with wit and charm.
