- Maysie Greig flung 'her own vivid personality', humour and enthusiasm into telling a good story. Heeding Delamore McCay's advice to 'write every sentence as though I were to cable it to England at my own expense', she wrote over 220 novels with an unusual economy of words. She invariably gave her stories happy endings 'because I believe that happiness is the greatest virtue in the world and misery the greatest sin'. For forty years her books were best sellers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her novels were translated into French, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish and Icelandic.

Ugift ektepar by Maysie Greig
Translated into Norwegian from Maysie Greig's Unmarried couple. The shape, format and cover design very much resemble the French Livre de Poche series.
The cool dustcover caught my attention and then the first page was a knock-out:
"Simon Bruce came out of a test tube, figuratively speaking, to learn he had inherited a fortune." and a pristine dustjacket.
In the second paragraph:
"It was a colossal, almost a vulgar fortune, left him by Jason K. Herling, the big American sausage king."
How can you go wrong with that much richness?
Clunk!
Well, you can. The story turned out to be very lame. And it was supposedly set in WW2 London, but the characters had no problems with housing, bombing raids, rationing, etc. etc.
One star for the first page and the fact that it doesn't end as you'd think it might from the start.… (more)
