Hi-jinks and fun ensue when three men and a woman find themselves together on an ocean liner sailing for England. When another woman enters the picture, we only know one thing: five is not divisible by two.
Lately I couldn't find new novels that are appealing so I've been reading old classics, short ones for almost instant gratification. P. G. Wodehouse wrote many novelettes sans Wooster, Jeeves, Blandings, etc. I like his humor and writing style. Most of his books are available free from the web and our library and I'm reading them one after the other. I have also several of Nikolai Gogol's books on my reading list.
Three men all got engaged to the same girl in a matter of days and a little over a week. The red-haired girl also falls in love as quickly as falling out of love for 2 of the men; one is foisted upon her by her father but she agrees to marry him anyway regardless of the man being a coward, a pushover, and ugly. She's too wishy-washy. The 3 young men are not desirable either. P. G. Wodehouse wrote a LOL funny novelette with the most absurd characters for a love pentagon.
