Produktinformationen zu „Captain Bennett's Folly (ePub)“
Captain Bennett's Folly is a direct descendant of Fleming's earlier comic novels, Colonel Effingham's Raid and Lucinderella. Like them, there is a narrator-in this case Walker Williams-who reports an adventure replete with rogues and innocents, while making an artful, funny and wistful case about the immorality of our times. Walker spins out a tale of how he and his hedonistic family journey to the Florida Keys during the hurricane season in order to prevent rich Uncle Nolan Bennett-"pushing eighty but not pushing very hard"-from marrying his young housekeeper and supplanting them as his legitimate heirs. The scheming relatives, however, have a tough adversary in the eccentric Uncle Nolan, and his struggles to escape from their manipulation are at the core of Fleming's yarn.

Pressezitat
“A consistently engaging romp that follows a group of greedy, exquisitely sleazy relatives who travel to the Florida Keys to keep their eccentric uncle known as the Captain from signing over his prime Georgia real estate to his comely new housekeeper. The writing is witty, challenging, and erudite. The sexual undercurrent that swirls throughout the book is delightful.” —The Plain Dealer
