Doctor Sally by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
This is the first Wodehouse outside Jeeves and Wooster I have read. I was pleased to see goodreads included as different covers the one with 2/6 on the cover (showing its age)the one I purchased from an second hand online bookstore.
Like the Jeeves and Wooster books there is a lot of comic dialogue between the characters which results into misunderstandings and farce.
Sally an American doctor who is good at golf is a great character and the question remains throughout this short novel, will Bill Banister mange to get this particular girl?
The book has the usual collection of upper class toffs which populate Wodehouse's mind, but here in Doctor Sally he shows they can be hardworking also, as in the last chapter Sally and Bill discuss the milking of cows. A masterpiece of sharp witty dialogue.
