Cotillion by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I absolutely love Freddy!
Though nominally this book is about Kitty – her predicament, her coming to London, her getting tangled up in other people’s problems – none of this would happen, or get resolved in any satisfactory way, without the quiet, simple, and unassuming help of a character who, normally, would be relegated to the sidelines, being the helpful best friend or that guy in the background.
The story is simple at best, all marriage plots and society complications, but Freddy and the rest of the cast make this a really delightful read.
