Heyer moves with assurance through questions of honour, inheritance, and romantic allegiance, drawing her characters with a clarity that anticipates the precision and social wit of her later work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough written at the outset of her career, the novel reveals Heyer's already considerable strengths: carefully structured plotting, a confident grasp of historical milieu, and an instinct for the emotional currents that shape both private lives and public events. For readers interested in the formative years of one of the twentieth century's most influential writers of historical fiction, \u003cem\u003eInstead of the Thorn\u003c\/em\u003e offers insight as well as enduring narrative pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 282\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50401570357485,"sku":"9781515443681","price":25.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/instead-of-the-thorn-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
