Description
Eleanor H. Porter has written a number of well-received novels at the beginning of the 20th century, including Marie-Marie, The Road to Understanding and Just David. Written around 1918, Oh, Money! Money! is a droll and interesting tale that you’ll get hooked on from the very beginning.The novel showcases the brilliant talent for creating ingeniously woven humorous situations that Porter was known for. With rich and complex characters, and well-rounded situations that will just keep you laughing throughout the book, this is definitely one story you won’t want to put down too soon.The tale begins as a millionaire with a knack for brilliant ideas gives some of his money to a couple of relatives that he doesn’t really know anything about. Curious to see how his cousins spend their money, he soon moves in close by, in order to monitor their progress, and see exactly what they do with it. While living incognito does have its challenges, it also serves as a brilliant catalyst for a dynamic, well-designed story that you will hardly be able to keep up with.Many of the points that Porter is trying to make with this book still hold true today. Learning to be a responsible spender is not easy, and we all tend to get caught up in it whenever we gain access to a slightly higher amount of money. However the hilarious way she exemplifies her ideas through, and the complex, extremely real characters are much more entertaining and engaging than probably any other similar novels written on this topic. If you enjoy a good novel written for a few hardy laughs, and most especially if you are already a fan of Eleanor H. Porter’s previous works, you’ll simply love Oh, Money! Money! – a beautiful and intriguing story for the entire family that will take you completely by surprise.
