Feeling low - the cure: Georgette Heyer; not to everyone's taste, she is ideal for those 'Mars Bar' occasions. Lively characters, an ability to write dialogue and a sense of history - she does bring the past to life. While The Reluctant Widow may not be her best, it combines humour, mystery and romance into a very satisfying whole that does not require too much concentration but lifts the mood. Indulge yourself - try her (Stephen Fry does!).
