The debut novel from the creator of the Regency genre of romance fiction

Based on a story she had written for her brother and published when she was 19 years old, The Black Moth is set during the Georgian era in the 1750s and follows Lord Jack Carstares, the eldest son of the Earl of Wyncham. Six years ago, Jack took the blame when his younger brother Richard cheated at cards. Jack consequently faced social exile and fled England for the European continent. He has now secretly returned, robbing carriages as a highwayman.

One day, he rescues Miss Diana Beauleigh when she is almost abducted by the Duke of Andover. Jack and Diana fall in love, but his troubled past and current profession threaten their happiness.

In a contemporary review published in 1921, the Times Literary Supplement deemed the protagonist Jack a “fascinating hero of romance” and added that the novel was “a well-filled story which keeps the reader pleased”.

I read this story for the first time probably 40 years ago, and then reread it many times. I love it though the whole “I rape you to marry you” is really grinding. This was my first time reading this book as an audio and WHY is the narrator American? This is quintessentially British with dukes, earls etc and hearing her American twang is really horrible also her other accents (I.e. Irish) are truly atrocious. I find that she is a good actress but absolutely wrong for this type of spoken English accent.

A great Georgette Heyer classic
