Joy in the Morning (1946)

PG Wodehouse
Book Read: June 2015

Jeeves, Wooster, the uncle, the police guy, the scary aunt (who doesn't appear at all), the couple whose marriage plans are all twisted up, the sort of troubles Bertam Wooster gets into, the happy ending- Joy in the Morning is my first experience of PG Wodehouse and it was hilarious! Already planning to get hold of more of the writer's works. Even though in the TV series of Jeeves and Wooster, Jeeves is played by Stephen Fry and Wooster by Hugh Laurie, when I picture the characters in my mind while reading, Hugh Laurie becomes Jeeves and Stephen Fry becomes Wooster. I don't know why this happens- it's all twisted up in my mind and I am struggling with these images. Even though the British sense of humour and dialogues are a bit hard to crack into, once you are in the mood, it becomes a hell of a ride! There were times I started smiling and laughing (without sound) so hard reading the book in the MMTS train and people were staring at me. Some of the plot twists and turns were nothing shot of genius! Eagerly waiting to get hold of more Wodehouse novels.
