Heyer novels: April Lady

On another note, Heyer has a habit of giving physical details about her heroines - something Austen, for example, never does - which mixes poorly with the publisher's program of using old artwork as the covers. Where the heroine of Arabella, for example, is particularly described as dark, we get this; and where the heroine of April Lady is meant to have a halo of cropped golden curls, we get this.
