Sweet story

Listened to this again, and loved it again. :-) Original review - November 24, 2009 This is such a sweet story. A nice bit of misunderstanding leads to a strange sort of love triangle and all sorts of misadventures for two people, one US born and one of the British aristocracy. Of course, with Wodehouse, true love always triumphs, but getting there is a blast. Readers are excellent, nice job with voices and accents.

Delightful Wodehouse Wit!

(5 stars)

Well-crafted and, at times, laugh-out-loud British humor abounds in this comic novel about the culture and manners of the upper classes. Hilarious miscommunications give rise to clever plot twists in this enjoyable and sweet romance. The book is very well read by 'Madame Tuft'. I thoroughly enjoyed her delivery, and her charming use of accents. Nicely done!

One of the best romances I've read in a long time.

This is a fun comedy-romance by one of my very favorite authors. It contains a lot of mistaken identity and misunderstanding. I would highly recommend this book. This Librovox version was very well read, nice and clear and their cadence and intonation do not distract from the story itself.

WOW! Great Book!
