Book Summary

The central object of the novel is a valuable painting known as "The Girl in Blue", a Gainsborough-style portrait that sets off a series of comedic events in the English countryside and London.

Key Characters:

  • Jerry West – A young barrister who finds himself in love with a girl named Kay, but is entangled with his overbearing ex-fiancée.

  • Kay Christopher – The titular “girl in blue,” she becomes the romantic interest and an object of pursuit.

  • Uncle Crispin – Jerry’s wealthy and mischievous uncle who adds complexity to the plot through inheritance issues and scheming.

  • J. Wendell Stickney – A bumbling American collector obsessed with acquiring the painting.

  • Vera Upjohn – An old flame who reenters the story and adds to the confusion and romance.

The story unfolds through a series of misunderstandings, broken engagements, and schemes involving the theft (or return) of the painting. Throughout, characters switch roles as schemers, victims, and lovers, leading to comic entanglements and ultimately, a tidy resolution.
