Reading These Old Shades | Alexandria
Read These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer. Masquerading as a boy in Georgian France, a fiery street urchin catches the eye of a jaded duke - but her deception conceals secrets that could destroy them both. Heyer's wickedly subversive romance challenges class divisions while exploring how masks reveal true identity. A daring exploration of gender roles that was revolutionary for 1926 and remains startlingly relevant today.
