Summer Lightning
Summer Lightning | P. G. Wodehouse
7 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
[Blandings] is an entire world unto itself and, one senses, Wodehouse pours into it his deepest feelings for England.Stephen Fry The Honourable Galahad Threepwood has decided to write his memoira tell-all that could destroy polite society. Everyone wants this manuscript gone, particularly Lord Emsworths neighbor Sir Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, who would do anything to keep the story of the prawns buried in the past. But the memoir isnt the only problem. A chorus girl disguised as an heiress, a double-dealing detective, a stolen prize-winning sow, and a crazy ex-secretary are only a few of the complications that must be dealt with before everyone can have their happy ending.

We talk Wodehouse in the latest episode, but we are also asking for suggestions for a new seasonal book. We usually pick something that's over 500 pages to spend a few months on. Let me know if you have any recommendations!

The Empress has been pignapped, there is an imposter on the loose, and various young couples need to overcome relatives' objections. Where could we be but Blandings?

It wasn't really laugh out loud funny, but it definitely kept a smile on my face all the way through.

Cinfhen Love your pic but I‘m weary about P.G. Wodehouse 🤷‍♀️ 7y
Wilkie @cinfhen I adore P.G. He is my literary chocolate, delicious, sweet and I always have some on my shelf when I need it. (edited) 7y
