Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-30 00:00:00 Tony Smith This is my favorite non-Jeeves Wodehouse book. It is literary champagne like all Wodehouse books, but it's happier than most (which is really saying something). The story deals with Archie, a young man who finds out after a hasty wedding to a beautiful girl that his new bride comes complete with a huge pile of money and a terrifying father who hates him. What sets this apart for me is the basic sweetness of the underlying love story. Jeeves stories take a very cynical view of marriage, with Bertie Wooster constantly getting accidentally engaged to a variety of overbearing and emmasculating women. Archie's marriage is the healthiest and most affectionate sort of partnership, portrayed with the rare earnestness at which Wodehouse excels.
