Cover 8

Set on the estate of Blandings and full of inept uncles, aggressive aunts, bungled marriage proposals and impersonations on top of impersonations, this is PG Wodehouse doing what PG Wodehouse does. As always his ability to turn every second sentence into a work of comedic art is unmatched.

Halfway through I realised this was a plot that would last as long as he felt like it lasting, each time a character seems like they've resolved it all he just has a silly new misunderstanding crop up to keep the story going, the plot means nothing but the writing and characters are so fun it's impossible to care.
