Bingo and the Little Woman

P. G. Wodehouse

There are few sights more alarming in the West End than young Bingo Little sitting in a club armchair with a dreamy, vacant stare. It usually means his heart is thoroughly compromised, his pockets are entirely empty, and Bertie Wooster is about to pay for it.
Bingo and the Little Woman plunges us straight into the terrifying world of high-society romance on a shoestring budget. Driven by his latest bout of life-altering devotion, Bingo is ready to conquer the world—provided someone else covers the bill. Naturally, Bertie is drafted in as the reluctant sponsor of this new emotional venture, only to find himself trapped in a posh, suffocating London club surrounded by octogenarian members who look like they survived the Napoleonic Wars. Wodehouse brilliantly balances the soaring heights of youthful infatuation against the cold, hard reality of British social decorum.
You don't listen to find out if love conquers all; you listen for the glorious, sharp-witted friction of two absolute idlers trying to navigate the real world.

Mansfield Park

Jane Austen

Mansfield Park is the third published novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1814 by Thomas Egerton. A second edition was published in 1816 by John Murray, still within Austen's lifetime. The novel did not receive any public reviews until 1821.
The novel tells the story of Fanny Price, starting when her overburdened family sends her at age ten to live in the household of her wealthy aunt and uncle and following her development into early adulthood. From early on critical interpretation has been diverse, differing particularly over the character of the heroine, Austen's views about theatrical performance and the centrality or otherwise of ordination and religion, and on the question of slavery. Some of these problems have been highlighted in the several later adaptations of the story for stage and screen.
