Wake Up Happy Every Day |
A struggling English couple staying with a friend in San Francisco make the most of his sudden death and become hugely rich. The plot thickens and draws in a selection of characters (though the change from person to person does take some persistence) to create a rather implausible but irresistible thriller with many pithy and quite thoughtful comments on all sorts of things. It's a light and amusing read, though I skimmed some of the digressions.
