About the book: 2024 / The young and extremely respectable bachelor George Finch, thanks to a very impressive inheritance he inherited from his uncle, no longer has to work for a piece of bread, and therefore he comes to New York to try his hand at painting. From an early age he wanted to be an artist. And so George Finch is an artist. Not only that: he is perhaps the most worthless artist who has ever touched a canvas stretched on an easel with a brush. As George struggles to find his place in this world, he becomes embroiled in a web of romance, misunderstandings, and comedic mishaps. On his way he meets colorful characters, including the butler Melat and his clever girlfriend Fanny, Mr. Hamilton Beamish, the author of the famous “Beamish Guides”, officer Garoway and Sigsby Wadington, pecked by his wife, yearning for the endless expanses of the West. Witty dialogues, funny plot twists and unique characters in “Rooftop Romance” are a classic example of Wodehouse’s signature style and will undoubtedly delight all fans of the author’s work..
