“Friday’s Child”
is one of the finest novels by Georgette Heyer. Isabel Milborne is referred to
as the Incomparable. She was very beautiful
and hence nicknamed the Incomparable. Every suitor wealth his salt and
heritage desired to win her over and make her his better half. Winning her over
was much more difficult than searching for a needle in a haystack.
Among the
suitors competing for her hand were three frontrunners Lord Sheringham, Lord Wrotham
and the Duke of Severn. Lord Sheringham could best be described as very
daring and the novel opens with the Lord
asking for her hand in marriage. As expected from a lady well aware of her superior
physical qualities as well class, she does not desire to be taken easily and
refuses Lord Sheringham.
As to whether
the Lord will persevere for her hand or give up, I live it for you to discover
through the interesting pages of the novel.
Though a thriller aficionado I find this novel very exciting, well written
with a nice story line and plot. Other characters other than the major
characters are added to spice up the novel and give it a realistic outlook.
“Friday’s Child is a classic in every sense of
the word. It is readable and simple but with an exciting plot which appeals to
readers of other genres.
