The plot is somewhat predictable but I didn't mind. Joy is simply adorable, and John is great character as well. Phyllis and Allan of [b:The Rose-Garden Husband|8042424|The Rose-Garden Husband|Margaret Widdemer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327985424s/8042424.jpg|12674175] are supporting characters. At one point, they all put on an amateur performance of [b:Iolanthe|5475135|Iolanthe|W.S. Gilbert|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327919217s/5475135.jpg|5542776], which made me very happy.

This ploy actually works, and she gets to spend the month with her wonderful friends. But John Hewitt almost immediately shows up, and the rest of the story goes from there.
It's a very sweet story. Not original--I'm afraid the plot is rather predictable! But I don't mind. Comparing it with some of my other favorite early-20th-century books, it's very, very well written. Occasionally funny, easy to get lost in but not overly intense. I will definitely be checking out more of Margaret Widdemer's books. ( )
