![]() Though young (only twenty four), Kit is a sensible and responsible young man, though by no means a stick in the mud. With his mama’s encouragement, Kit finds himself masquerading as Evelyn, a situation he finds increasingly uncomfortable as time goes on and Evelyn is nowhere to be found.ĭespite the comic setup, this is one of Heyer’s less madcap efforts, which is perfectly fine by me. ![]() ![]() No one seems particularly worried about this as it’s the sort of thing the dashing Evelyn is apt to do but it has come at a particularly inconvenient time, on the eve of a party to introduce Evelyn to the family of the girl, Cressy Stavely, he has recently proposed to. Instead, Kit finds that his twin has disappeared. Kit, currently posted to Vienna as a minor but promising diplomatic aide, is back in England to settle the affairs surrounding an inheritance he’s received from his godfather and, while he’s there, to see his brother and his mama (who is an absolute darling). Heyer really could do things that no other writer can, creating that perfect blend of comedy, intricate plotting, and careless but exquisite period detail.įalse Colours begins with Kit Fancot arriving in the dead of night at the London townhouse of his twin brother, Evelyn, Earl of Denville. ![]() I finished rereading False Colours by Georgette Heyer early this morning and oh, it was good. ![]()
