They lease a house and although they are still in mourning, they take limited outings to partake of the waters. Both ladies decide they would be happier with time away in nearby Bath. Serena and Fanny remove themselves to the Dower House, but Serena has a hard time with her cousin’s administering of the estate. Much to Serena’s dismay, her inheritance is tied up in a trust that is administered by the Marquis of Rotherham, her father’s good friend, and the man that she jilted before their marriage six years before. After the Earl’s untimely death, he is left without a male heir, but does leave behind his 25 year old daughter Serena, and his even younger second wife, Fanny. Serena is the high-spirited daughter of The Earl of Spenborough. Luckily I had two on my pile to review and I chose to read Bath Tangle first.īath Tangle is the story of the tangled love lives of many charming characters. I had just finished reading the wonderful biography of Heyer, The Private World of Georgette Heyer by Jane Aiken Hodge and was in the mood for a new Heyer. I can’t think of a more perfect end to summer then to happily delight in another novel from one of my favorite authors. A new Heyer novel is a book to be savored. Bath Tangle is another wonderful, enjoyable novel by Georgette Heyer, the queen of regency historical fiction.
