Description
When a dyspeptic American with a fortune to spare—Paterson Frisby—crosses paths with the scheming aristocrats of London, Hugo Carmody finds himself swept into a whirlwind of matchmaking plots, quick-money fantasies, and increasingly absurd impersonations. As eccentric nobles and opportunists circle one another, Carmody must navigate a social world where appearances are everything and every “sure thing” seems to be one misunderstanding away from disaster. With Wodehouse’s signature light touch—rapid-fire wit, buoyant dialogue, and farcical momentum—this novel turns the pursuit of wealth and status into a comedy of manners. At its heart, *Big Money* explores the slippery line between love and ambition, and the hilarious lengths people will go to secure a future that looks perfect on paper but never survives contact with reality.
