Book Summary
Big Money is a light-hearted romantic comedy set in Wodehouse’s signature world of aristocrats, eccentrics, and comic misunderstandings. The story follows the charming but financially struggling Lord “Biscuit” Biskerton and his wealthy friend Berry Conway. Both young men find themselves entangled in romantic pursuits, complicated by fortune, family expectations, and a series of farcical twists. Biscuit hopes to win the heart of the spirited Kitchie Valentine, while Berry falls for Ann Chester, but misunderstandings, meddling relatives, and financial pressures threaten their chances at happiness. With witty dialogue, delightful characters, and impeccably timed humor, Wodehouse crafts a story in which love triumphs—though only after much chaos, confusion, and clever plotting.
