The quickest way to get rich is to marry someone rich, but how do
you do this if you aren't yet rich? TV chat-show host Ronnie
Appleyard is preoccupied with this question as he pursues wealthy
heiress Simona Quick over two continents in the company of braying
aristocrats, Greek shipping magnates, American dandies and the
dreaded mother-in-law to be. But as he comes closer to his prize
other questions present themselves. Is the androgenous Simona
really worth it? Why doesn't she like sex? Is it possible to drink
all day? With his unerring eye for absurdity and class satire
Kingsley Amis shows us what happens when money meets naked
ambition.
