The Transformation of Philip Jettan. Illustrated
Georgette Heyer
Philip Jettan is a straightforward, rugged country gentleman—confident, loyal, and a little rough around the edges. But his beloved Cleone Charteris finds him lacking in polish and sophistication. Determined to win her heart, Philip sets out for Paris, where he immerses himself in the world of fashion, flirtation, and duels, returning a changed elegant, refined, and utterly transformed.
Yet the new Philip is not quite what Cleone expected—and perhaps not what she truly wants. As misunderstandings unfold and feelings deepen, both must confront the is it the outer image that matters, or the authentic self within?
Originally published in 1923 and later reissued as Powder and Patch, this novel blends Heyer’s signature wit, keen eye for social detail, and a deliciously ironic tone. It’s a light-hearted comedy of manners with deeper reflections on identity, pride, and the often ridiculous expectations of love.
A delightful read for fans of Jane Austen, P.G. Wodehouse, or anyone who enjoys a smart romantic romp through powdered wigs, dueling pistols, and clever repartee.
