At first glance this lovely cover might seem to be ok but...
If you are curious about the summary, you can find the review of this novel clicking here. In a nutshell: this lady, presumably the lively main heroine, lived in Regency era and she is dressed in an Empire dress...go figure. Next thing, in this picture the girl is playing a harp whereas the main heroine repeatedly announced in the novel that she couldn't play one single instrument, she could only play Faro which is not an instrument at all. In fact no other character in that book, male or female, played a harp EVER.
Somebody didn't do their homework?
Haha great pick and what a great eye you have for details! Way to notice those discrepancies, and thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and my pleasure!
ReplyDeleteThe dress I could forgive..perhaps just a little outdated fashion. But the harp! No
ReplyDeleteThe dress I could forgive
ReplyDeleteI bet Ms. Heyer, who was famous for being always very attentive when it came to period details in her books, would be scandalized even if there was no harp at all. I do admit that the instrument got on my nerves a lot, however.
Ana! You did win my contest but..do you live in Europe, since it says that in your profile? Since this was US and Canada only? If so then do you have anyone who could accept the prize for you?
ReplyDeleteSorry, publishers rule.
