"Uneasy Money: P. G. Wodehouse's Comic Financial Dilemmas" is a delightful romp through the absurdities of wealth, romance, and mistaken identity, all told with Wodehouse's signature wit and charm. This lighthearted comedy follows amiable but financially awkward Lord Dawlish -- affectionately known as Bill -- who unexpectedly inherits a fortune from a rich American stranger. But when Bill learns that the true heir, a young woman named Elizabeth Boyd, has been left with nothing, his sense of fairness compels him to set off across the Atlantic to right the perceived wrong.

Set between the bustling streets of New York and the quaint countryside of England, Uneasy Money spins a whimsical tale of social class, convoluted relationships, and financial confusion. Bill's journey is one of noble intentions tangled in humorous misadventures, including identity mix-ups, awkward proposals, and misunderstandings that could only happen in a Wodehouse world. With a colorful cast of characters and razor-sharp dialogue, the novel remains a charming portrait of early 20th-century comedy and honor among the upper crust.

Wodehouse cleverly critiques the notion of wealth as both a blessing and a burden, weaving deeper themes beneath the farcical plotlines. As Bill attempts to give away a fortune others would greedily guard, Uneasy Money presents a refreshing and amusing look at morality, love, and the unpredictable nature of life and inheritance. This is classic Wodehouse: humorous, heartfelt, and wholly entertaining.

??? "The book had its humorous moments, but some of the pacing felt off, especially compared to Wodehouse's more famous works. Still, Bill's good-hearted nature and the twists kept me going until the end."

???? "Wodehouse delivers another witty and charming tale in Uneasy Money. The setup is engaging, and the characters are a delight. I especially enjoyed the contrast between American and British social norms. A fun, feel-good read."

???? "A great mix of comedy and character-driven storytelling. Lord Dawlish is one of Wodehouse's more grounded yet lovable heroes. While not as uproarious as some of his Jeeves novels, this one still sparkles with cleverness and warmth."

????? "Absolutely hilarious and heartwarming! Uneasy Money had me smiling from start to finish. The plot twists are brilliant, and Wodehouse's wordplay is as sharp as ever. Bill is the kind of character you can't help but root for."

????? "Wodehouse's storytelling genius shines here. Every scene is painted with humor and elegance, and the transatlantic setting adds a unique flavor. Uneasy Money is a comedic gem filled with heart and laughs."
