After two Austen, I read a novel of his "newer version", as it somehow. I'm talking about an author who has already gone through here: Georgette Heyer. If when I talked about Venetia said that this book I liked more than the first I read ( Uncle Sylvester ), now I have to say that I liked even more The indomitable Sophia. Scares me to wear now with another of his creations, because that comment today I had a pipe. How I have fun with that Sophia is a whirlwind. Since then, the title does not fools at all. With winds near the end of vaudeville, the rest is an endless dialogue with humor. Wit:
"Since Miss Wraxton mention, let me ask you, cousin, that you refrain from telling my sister that has horse face," he said stiffly.
- But Charles, Miss Wraxton not guilty of that! No can do, and I assure you that I always have to watch the girls.
-believe that the features of Miss Wraxton are particularly distinguished.
"Yes, of course, I do not think I have explained well. Meant that horse face is particularly distinguished.
The argument is simple: Sophia is left by her father at her aunt. There everything seems more or less well. His uncle is the boss at home, but the head of household is Charles, the serious cousin Sophia. Under his leadership, the whole world is controlled ... or so he thinks: Theodore, his brother in his twenties, he studied at Oxford, his younger brothers and sisters have their governess, Cecilia, the teenage sister is engaged to a good game, and Charles himself is also about to marry Miss Wraxton. When Sophia, a girl with an education that moves away from the conventions of the time, breaks into home of Ombersley, the order imposed by Charles cease to be such. It is clear that the clash between Charles and Sophia is immediate, but more from him than she, who only wants the best for the family of her aunt ...
Unlike Miss Emma Woodhouse, Sophia is a girl very determined to get everything that is proposed. It may sound a little too self-sufficient character (read hipertatuada Lisbeth Salander, ugh), but such is the grace and irony that demonstrates, I believe that there will be anyone who falls ill. His quick mind always let the male characters without knowing what to say.
For when a small adjustment to the big screen or the novels of this author? Stop and to Jane Austen and Brontë and are released with Heyer. Hilarious.
