About this audiobook
A cheerful but chronically inept young Englishman arrives in New York City, promptly marries the daughter of a terrifying hotel magnate, and struggles to win over his furious new father-in-law. Living in the luxury establishment, his well-intentioned efforts to prove his worth constantly result in spectacular disasters and public embarrassments. From bizarre business ventures to disastrous social encounters, his infectious optimism clashes hilariously with the serious world of American commerce. Endless hilarity ensues as he attempts to navigate his complicated new family dynamic.
