Nell Stillman is a woman with a lot of problems. She lives in a small Midwestern town at the beginning of the 20th Century. As problems occur, Nell finds solace in the writings of P. G. Wodehouse. Later, Nell becomes a 3rd Grade Teacher in the local elementary school, but she has enemies who threaten her. Faith Sullivan writes convincingly about small town life and the issues women faced before they were granted the right to vote. I enjoyed the selections from Wodehouse’s work that kept Nell sane despite all the turmoil swirling around her. GRADE: B+
George, I have often turned to Wodehouse when I felt low. I don’t think i can ever stop reading (or rereading) his books.
Prashant, the character in GOOD NIGHT, MR. WODEHOUSE reads about Bertie and Jeeves when things really get tough.
This sounds good, but I’d prefer to just read Wodehouse. I agree with Prashant, he’s good for cheering me up.
Maggie, I wanted to drop everything and read some Wodehouse after I finished GOOD NIGHT, MRNA. WODEHOUSE!
I’d better read one before it’s too late.
Patti, Wodehouse books are like potato chips, you can’t stop at one.
Well, I did, but I’m sure I’ll read another eventually.
Rick, I find Wodehouse irresistible!
Wodehouse is good at keeping anyone sane. Or, at least, providing a respite from dark times and bleak moods. I’ve often pictured a psychiatrist building a prosperous business just by saying, “Take two Wodehouse and call me in the morning.”
Jerry, I love Wodehouse’s zany world!
It sounds like a show we saw once. And we’ve seen a couple of Wodehouse adaptations too. I have a bunch more on my “to be read” list but the list gets longer every day.
Jeff, Faith Sullivan obviously loves Wodehouse as much as her character does. I loved the selections Nell dwells on during her times of crisis.
