Reading The Masqueraders | Alexandria
Read The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer. Swapping genders in Georgian England, two noble siblings orchestrate an audacious deception - she masquerades as a dashing swordsman while he becomes a delicate society beauty. Heyer's The Masqueraders brilliantly explores fluid identity and social performance, revealing how society's rigid roles have always been more theater than truth. Her insight that authentic self-expression often requires artful disguise remains startlingly relevant.
