Follow Doris Dunbar through the ups and downs of a daunting future. An unwise business investment leaves John Edward Dunbar’s children practically penniless after his death—and his eldest daughter, Doris, to bear the brunt of the trials that come. Between the bill collectors, her demanding stepmother, and her brother’s hasty marriage to a gold digger, it’s hard for Doris to keep hope alive. Until Scottish businessman Angus Macdonald offers a picture-perfect solution to Doris’s dwindling hope. But despite the seemingly easy salvation, will this blessing yield more hurt than help? —Amazon

The lifestyles of strange characters in a made-up European location are the focus of this satirical comedy book. The wit, colourful language, and dialogue-based style of Firbank’s writing all work together to highlight the ridiculousness of society rules and customs. He uses a sequence of short stories and scenes to create a striking image of a society in which social mores are both distorted and violated. An enjoyable book for those who enjoy satire and unique storytelling.
