This short novel about a beautiful young American doctor and skilled golfer who is being pursued by a lovesick and apparently idle British aristocrat has an unusual history. In 1931, Wodehouse adapted it from an earlier play based on a Hungarian work. Not surprisingly, it lacks the stylistic flair of Wodehouse's more original works. Paul Shelley's narration is adequate but is missing the zing that might have been provided by a narrator such as Jonathan Cecil, whose energetic reading of Wodehouse's The Mating Season is also available in a new AudioGO release. VERDICT A pleasant romantic distraction that should appeal to golf lovers and others.—R. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, CA
When Bill Bannister meets Dr. Sally Smith, love blossoms immediately. Unfortunately, there is just the small problem of Lottie Higginbotham, former actress, serial bride, and human fireball, with whom Bill is already involved. The well-meaning interference of Bill's old friend, Squiffy Tidmouth, once married to Lottie, only complicates matters further-until everything is straightened out in a series of comic encounters at Bill's ancestral home and everyone lives happily ever after.
