Ice in the Bedroom

Freddie Widgeon wants the money to buy shares in a coffee plantation in Kenya so that he can marry Sally Foster. Soapy and Dolly Molloy want to get their hands on a cache of stolen jewels hidden in the house of Freddie's neighbour in the suburb of Valley Fields. When their paths cross, the ensuing misunderstandings lead to vintage Wodehouse comedy.

Reviews

A handsome, collectable hardback edition

—— Lynne Truss , The Times

Canada has produced more than its fair share of brilliant writers. David Adams Richards might not be as successful an export as Margaret Atwood or the late Saul Bellow, but he's impressive nonetheless... An evocative tale of fate and small-town life, it's filled with drama, bawdy wit and echoes of Thomas Hardy

—— Hepzibah Anderson , Daily Mail
