Beschreibung

P.G. Wodehouse wrote the book "The Adventures of Sally". The protagonist of the story is Sally Nicholas, a young American heiress who must support herself after her father loses his fortune. In order to reside with her brother Fillmore, who is married to a snobby socialite called Angela, Sally goes to England. When she gets involved in a love triangle with Fillmore's friend, the poor artist Ginger Kemp, and the affluent playboy Wally Mason, Sally quickly finds herself caught up in the intricate social dynamics of English high society. Sally must battle with her brother's clever business partner, the exuberant Uncle Donald, as she navigates the perilous seas of love and money. The story is a fascinating journey through the world of the British upper class, written with Wodehouse's usual wit and humor and full of misidentifications, amusing misunderstandings, and surprising narrative twists. The humorous and enjoyable book "The Adventures of Sally" displays Wodehouse's special gift for comedy storytelling. The book is still regarded as a masterpiece in the "Wodehouse canon" because of its universal themes of love, wealth, and class.
