P. G. Wodehouse

Coming of Bill, also known as Their Mutual Child and The White Hope, is a comedic novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in 1914. The story follows Kirk, a likable but weak painter, who marries the charming Ruth against her wealthy father's wishes. Their happiness is disrupted when Kirk seeks fortune in South America, only to return to a chaotic home dominated by Ruth's eccentric aunt, Miss Laura Delane Porter. This novel features Wodehouse's signature humor and explores themes of love, social class, and family dynamics.
