About This Book

A newly married couple spend their honeymoon at a small seaside hotel, and the comedy examines the tensions between impulsive passion and deliberate reserve as personal mannerisms, domestic routines, and family expectations collide. Scenes alternate intimate exchanges with visits from relatives and acquaintances, notably a celebrated novelist, her husband, and the couple's brothers, producing misunderstandings, social satire, and farcical complications. The three-act structure foregrounds character sketches and witty observations on marriage, fame, and manners.
