Review

ELIZA

Says ROBERT BARR in The Idler:—

"... and as for Barry Pain's 'Eliza' I question if anything more deliciously humourous, and of a humour so restrained, has been written since the time of Lamb."

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazon's Book Cover is misleading, December 22, 2008

This review is from: Eliza (Kindle Edition)

The nude woman bookcover on Amazon's page seems to imply this is perhaps a racy type book which couldn't be further from the truth.

It is a series of anecdotes about a @1900 English fictional couple in their 40s I'd guess who are childless.

Very tame short humorous stories told by the husband about his life with his wife, Eliza. The couple are like an English version of George Burns and Gracie Allen.

A gentle chuckle of a book. Get it free from MobileRead.
