Pretty, impecunious Sally Nicholas never dreamed a fortune could prove a disadvantage, until she became an heiress and watched in bewilderment as her orderly existence went haywire. Coping first with her brother's wild theatrical ambitions, then with the defection of her fiancé and his immediate replacement by a much more appropriate but strangely unattractive suitor, Sally finds that life in New York is becoming altogether too complicated, and a trip to England only makes the whole situation worse.

But just as Sally is concluding that she has disastrously misplaced her bets, it looks as if a piece of speculation about an outsider might just give her adventures a happy ending.

P.G. Wodehouse is in sparkling form, in a story set on both sides of the Atlantic in the Roaring '20s.

The story was good, light humor — what we’ve come to expect from P.G. Wodehouse, but the reader was hard to listen to. His voice characterizations were at times annoying, and some of his inflections didn’t seem to fit the content at all. All in all, I think I’d listen to the story again, if read by someone else. I’d avoid recordings made with this reader.

Good Story, Bad Performance

One of my favorites of PG Wodehouse. Not fond of the breathy female voices, though.

Great book

I love most of P. G. Wodehouse’s books, especially when they’re read by a British gentleman with a quite adjustable voice like this one. Most of all I love the characters in these books, and this one is a fine example! There are characters I fell in love with, and others I enjoyed despising. And to make it a real story and not just biographies, this book has interesting circumstances and surprises. All together a wonderful read that I’d suggest to anybody who likes old fashioned rom-coms.

A wonderful cast of characters, in interesting circumstances

PGW sprinkles humor all around in most books but it’s more concentrated in the dialogue here. Plot progression is simple and recognizable. Hence, could be a stage production, even a high school drama club could do it. 100 or so intervening years of culture change is problematic. How could this be updated?

Ought to be a play
