Description
In 1950s London, a career girl decides it's high time she snared herself a husband
Professional dog photographer Louisa Datchett is indiscriminately fond of men. And they take shocking advantage of her good nature when they need their problems listened to, socks washed, prescriptions filled, or employment found.
But by the age of thirty, Louisa is tired of constantly being dispatched to the scene of some masculine disaster. It's all well and good to be an independent woman-and certainly better than a "timid Victorian wife"-but the time has come for her to marry, and marry well. With the admirable discipline and dedication she's always displayed in any endeavor involving men, Louisa sets out on her own romantic quest.

Person
Margery Sharp is renowned for her sparkling wit and insight into human nature, both of which are liberally displayed in her critically acclaimed social comedies of class and manners. Born in Yorkshire, England, Sharp wrote pieces for
Punch magazine after attending college and art school. In 1930, she published her first novel,
Rhododendron Pie, and in 1938, married Maj. Geoffrey Castle. Sharp wrote twenty-six novels, three of which-
Britannia Mews,
Cluny Brown, and
The Nutmeg Tree-were made into feature films, and fourteen children's books, including
The Rescuers, which was adapted into two Disney animated films.
