The Girl on the Boat - P.G. Wodehouse 1922 - * * *


Wodehouse has done it yet again, this time aboard a cruise ship where cousins meet ex-fiances and new fiances meet old acquaintances who aren't always what or whom they seem ( are they ever in his books???). This book is funny, silly, and more to the point exactly what we want from Mr W. You can never feel sad when finishing any of his books, except of course for the fact that it's over. He transports us to a world where men are genteel and wear smoker's jackets and women are pretty, silly little things who need to be protected but seem to have strong opinions. You can count on the men acting like idiots and mucking up in front of the women in an attempt to show off, but with Wodehouse you are 100% sure that the women will always forgive them; that's the kind of world I'd love to live in.
