Synopsis

A most unusual request for insurance was made to Lloyds of London. It was outre enough to bring on what can best be described as something of “improbable dimensions.” The request was made by a young Brirtish Lord. He was engaged to an American heiress and was worried she might back out. An added part of the story is a guarantee there would be a sizeable payout if the ceremony stalls. The story of same can easily be called a delightful romantic comedy and it wouldn’t be surprising if you laugh out loud, or at least chuckle frequently. So, just listen and thereby form your own definition of “improbable.”

3,5 estrellas. Empieza siendo divertidísimo y el sentido del humor irónico y ocurrente del autor me ha gustado mucho pero, para mí gusto a esta obra le sobran personajes y es una pena.
