Note to others SF readers who are considering trying the Vorkosigan books and want to get a taste of the series: Don't start with "A Civil Campaign!" 
What about this Georgette Heyer 17th Century England series brought it to mind here?
Is it steam-punk or something? |
I was chiming in on the Georgette Heyer suggestion
because you had read "A Civil Campaign" (the title is an homage to Heyer's "
A Civil Contract").
Bujold's touchstone for "A Civil Campaign" was Heyer's Regency romances.
I keep meaning to read them myself. They were (possibly still are) my mother's favourite books.
