About this listen

 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.

Right ho, Jeeves: don't miss more from P.G. Wodehouse.

An early Wodehouse, less compact. Still entertaining. Some insightful passages on relationships. Still funny. Listenable.

A different Wodehouse

A solid work of gentle humour and romantic literature from the master himself. I personally consider P.G. Wodehouse something of a genius, and here we see his craft budding in the early days.

Though this tale is not so celebrated as later novels, there is a charm about it, and his unique brand of situation-comedy permeates the story throughout.

As with the later Wodehouse novels, there is a lot of fun and games, often with good-natured amusement and observarion regarding high-society and the chattering classes of the day.

This is an endearing and light-hearted tale, with little twists and turns along the way. The narration by Frederick Davidson is very good, capturing the wit and charcter of Wodehouse's style. Thus, the story moves along well, is good fun and very enjoyable.

Great Story

Like many people, I suspect, I came to Wodehouse through Jeeves. I’ve really enjoyed listening to some of his other work.
Amusing, and surprisingly fresh. Frederick Davison did an excellent job of the dialogue in particular, swapping between English and American accents. I particularly enjoyed his version of the Brit abroad trying to speak French!

Enchanting, well read story

The written book is better than the narrated version. the narration over forces the English accent to the ridiculous - which was not realistic and actually unpleasant on the ear! Not one in would listen to again!

Narration not good

I LOVE Wodehouse- why then was I wondering ‘how much longer?’
Think the plot too circuitous, and the writing not up to Pelham’s later standard. However worthy of a listen for ardent fans.

Don’t do this one as a first Wodehouse; lest you get the wrong impression - start with the wonder of Wooster and you will not be disappointed!

Meh

An entertaining story with a good narrator. It’s light-hearted and fun, and well worth listening to.

Entertaining story

it takes a special talent to make Wodehouse sound dull, this narrator succeeds spectacularly. awful, so bad as to make it (for me at least) unbearable.

Enjoyable if rather predictable. Found it rather long for its content. A ‘cosy “ book for an easy listen. Not going to challenge

Little predictable

Never read this Wodehouse book so enjoyed this no end. I like this reader even though his accents sometimes falter

What fun
