Synopsis

Pretty, impecunious Sally Nicholas never dreamed a fortune could prove a disadvantage until she becomes an heiress and watches in bewilderment as her orderly existence goes haywire. Coping first with her brothers wild theatrical ambitions, then with the defection of her fianc 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.

About P. G. Wodehouse

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881–1975) was an English humorist who
wrote novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics, and numerous pieces of
journalism. He was highly popular throughout a career that lasted more than
seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read. He is best
known for his novels and short stories of Bertie Wooster and his manservant
Jeeves and for his settings of English upper-class society of the pre– and
post–World War I era. He lived in several countries before settling in the United States after
World War II. During the 1920s, he collaborated with Broadway legends like Cole
Porter and George Gershwin on musicals and, in the 1930s, expanded his
repertoire by writing for motion pictures. He was honored with a knighthood in
1975.

Goodreads review by Scot

I had a sudden craving for something amusing and comfy, and it had been awhile since I had read any Wodehouse (went through a 'Jeeves" phase some years ago) so when I stumbled across this listed in the free category on Kindle I gave it a go. Sure it is a period piece from 1922, but for me that's par......more
