What this book is about

Sophy is a force of nature: confident, generous, utterly without the deference expected of young women. When she descends on the Rivenhall household, she sees exactly what's wrong with everyone and sets about fixing it, whether they want her to or not. The Grand Sophy is Heyer's most beloved book for readers who want a heroine who acts.
