![]() ![]() ![]() Heyer was a popular writer of romance, mystery, and historical fiction in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, a fact I didn't discover until I saw her novel, The Convenient Marriage (1934), recommended by friend and fellow-Victorianist, Martha Stoddard Holmes. The variety of covers here gives some idea of the range of possible understanding about where this book fits in the scheme of popular reading values Heyer's work is at the threshold, it would seem, of respectability, evoking Jane Austen (to whom she is frequently compared), or, on the mass-market side, someone like Nora Roberts or Stephanie Meyers. ![]()
