Warms the cockles of your heart

This is my favourite Wodehouse novels and I I loved it so much that I heard it two time in a row.

I don't want to give the plot away too much, but Sally is one of the warmest, generous, empathetic and kind-hearted girls you would ever hope to meet, and Ginger is an honest, just, polite, and diffident struggling between-jobber who makes a hash of every job his 'family' provides him. It is a love story like no other.

Jonathon Cecil is the best narrator you would ever hear. Hearing this warm, beautiful story makes you forget your day-to-day troubles as you are taken into Sally's world as she encounters frightful bounders as well as amiable chumps, the biggest being Ginger.

Classic (non-Jeeves) Wodehouse

Whenever I'm reading a non-Jeeves or non-Blandings Wodehouse story, I mostly feel like I'm reading the book for some old-fashioned musical: a story full of plucky heroines, misguided heroes, misunderstandings, and delightfully happy endings.

And 'The Adventures of Sally" is another in this vein. Well-read as usual by Jonathan Cecil (my favourite Wodehouse reader), it's a nice little story. Not a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, and a little predictable, but still enjoyable - especially if you're in the mood for a happy ending!
