Description
A Civil Contract
Author: Georgette Heyer
Hard cover with dust jacket - fair condition. First edition.
A Civil Contract by Georgette Heyer is a Regency romance that subverts traditional romantic tropes, focusing instead on duty, compromise, and emotional maturity. The novel follows Adam Deveril, a noble but impoverished officer who must give up the woman he loves to marry Jenny Chawleigh, the practical and kind daughter of a wealthy but socially ambitious businessman. What begins as a marriage of convenience slowly deepens into mutual respect and quiet affection, as Adam comes to appreciate Jenny's steadfast nature and inner strength. Heyer explores themes of class, sacrifice, and the contrast between romantic idealism and real-life partnership, offering a nuanced portrayal of love grounded in character rather than passion.
