Venetia Lanyon is twenty-five years old, orphaned, and responsible for her frail younger brother Aubrey, who is crippled by a disease of the hip-joint. Venetia is also quite lovely, but her character is so good and strong, that were she only half as beautiful, she would still outshine her peers. She is down-to-earth and earthy in a very ladylike way, and a charming, caring person. She is extremely intelligent and well read, possesses poise, a wonderful sense of humor, and lots of common sense. Not only do I think that "Venetia" is Georgette Heyer's best novel, I think Venetia is one of her best characters, and certainly one of my favorite heroines in all romance fiction. ![]()
