Representaion Supposing Books The Unknown Ajax

Miles from anywhere, Darracott Place is presided over by elderly Lord Darracott. Irascible Lord Darracott rules his barony with a firm hand. The tragic accident that killed his eldest son by drowning has done nothing to improve his temper. For now, he must send for the next heir apparent--the unknown offspring of the uncle whom the family is never permitted to mention. He also summons his bickering descendants to the rundown family estate. Yet none of that beleaguered family are prepared for the arrival of the weaver's brat and heir apparent...

Comment On About Books The Unknown Ajax

This is my second review in AudioGals' Month of Audio Favourites, and I've given it an A+ for narration and B+ for content.I havent read The Unknown Ajax in years, but it was one of the first of Ms. Heyers novels I purchased in audio and I remember being utterly delighted by it, thinking that the story came to life in a way I hadnt experienced when reading the book. Daniel Philpotts performance is nothing short of perfect and, re-listening to it in order to write this review, I couldnt help but

The Darracott family of Kent & Sussex are the very definition of a dysfunctional family. Old Lord Darracott despises all his sons, and actually disowned one for marrying a "weaver's daughter. " N.B. Lord Darracott basically despises everyone except Richmond; he tolerates Vincent; but by the end of the book, he grudgingly admires and is grateful to "that weaver's spawn."The players assembled at Darracott Place are: Lord Darracott; Mrs. Elvira Darracott, his daughter-in-law, and her two

2019 ReviewI mean, is it truly a 3-star read? I'm inclined to bump it up a star. But also after the hero proposes I still had about a quarter of the book to go and I mentally checked out. It is a funny and well-written conclusion but getting there...We'll leave it at 3 stars. 2018 ReviewWell, I disagree with my younger self. I do not believe this book represents Heyer delving into improbable adventures. And I do not think the smuggler plot comes out of nowhere. It actually starts almost at the

I nearly gave this 3 stars, but Hugh is such a spectacular character that it drove the rating up to 4. He's quietly hilarious, and maybe he's not sardonically witty like the Duke of Avon but he's no slowpoke. [Blog] - [Bookstagram]

One of my very favorite Heyer novels! The romance is understated; it's more a comedy of ... errors? manners? both? But it is an absolutely delightful book, with memorable personalities.I've got to go 5 stars with this one. The Darracotts are bickering, dysfunctional family, governed by a tyrannical, irascible grandfather, Lord Darracott. They are forced to welcome the new heir to the family, Major Hugh (Hugo) Darracott from Yorkshire. They all expect him to be a low-class, uneducated and

Real Rating: 4.5* of fiveThe Publisher Says: A past dispute... When the irascible Lord Darracott's eldest son dies unexpectedly, the noble family must accept their estranged Yorkshire cousin as heir apparent. They are convinced he will prove to be a sadly vulgar person, but nothing could have prepared the beleaguered family for the arrival of Major Hugo Darracott.A present deception...His clever and beautiful cousin Anthea is sure there's more to the gentle giant than Hugo's innocent blue eyes

5+ stars!How on Earth did Georgette Heyer come up with so many distinct characters and so many completely dissimilar plots? The lady was brilliant, I tell you! The Unknown Ajax centers around the extremely dysfunctional Darracott family, ruled with an iron fist by eighty-year-old Lord Darracott. He's sired four sons, three of whom are dead. His eldest, the heir, drowned recently along with the grandson who would have been next in line to inherit. The crochety patriarch had cast off Hugh, the
