Sophy la Grande

Sophy's wit and independence really stand out in a time when social decorum was everything. I wonder what inspired Heyer to make her such a lively and unconventional heroine.

The novel portrays a lot of societal expectations, but some characters challenge them in surprising ways. How did those moments impact your view of Victorian society?

The witty exchanges and sharp dialogue add so much charm. I'm curious whether the humor feels more like a product of the plot or the characters' personalities.
