"The main character is very witty. I laughed out loud frequently. It is an entertaining story with a good ending. Some post WWII English slang is obscure but not hard to figure out."

"This is certainly a light book, but sometimes that is exactly what one craves. It was originally published in 1959, and is a delightful period piece now. The British heroine likes men, the more helpless the better, but realizes that she has an army of dependent men who rely on her, but has nothing for herself. She decides to marry a man who will take care of her, and so the search begins. Its lighthearted and sometimes predictable, but who cares? I found it funny." [a review]
