Sir Waldo Hawkridge - wealthy, handsome, eligible, illustrious and known as 'The Nonesuch' for his athletic prowess - believes he is past the age of falling in love. But when he comes North to inspect his unusual inheritance at Broom Hall in the West Riding, his arrival leads to the most entertaining of ramifications.... 

Georgette Heyer won the hearts of many worldwide enthusiasts with her peerless novels of historical romance - which continues to this day - and in The Nonesuch, all her storytelling skills are in evidence.

Really enjoyed this one. Made a nice change for the setting to be a bit more “villagey”, with the London high society mostly just referred to. Good clutch of characters, entertainingly written and narrated.

Not one of Heyer's best. Narration is stilted although individual dialogue very good. Unsettling though.

Disjointed narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Mispronunciation of ‘ton’ only jarring note. But good story and well read. I enjoyed it.

Thoroughly enjoyable

With Georgette Heyer you know what the end will eventually be, but it is a pure delight in the journey. Filled with wit and excellent story telling, none can be beaten. Georgette Heyer has been sadly let down in most of the new by Penguin audio versions. This narrator was Ok better than some of the others.
