«Девица в голубом» – одно из лучших произведений позднего П. Г. Вудхауса • Сердце этого романа – история Джерри Уэста. У юноши большая проблема: он влюбился. И не в свою невесту, а в стюардессу Джейн Ханникат. Они познакомились на суде, будучи присяжными, и с тех пор наш герой не может выкинуть её из головы. Только вот Джейн получает в наследство крупное состояние, и это путает Джерри все карты: разорвать помолвку у него, может, ещё и выйдет, а вот избежать клейма альфонса – уже нет. Как же он добьётся счастливого исхода, столь знакомого по другим историям творца замка Бландинг и рассказов о Дживсе и Вустере? Конечно, благодаря бесценной миниатюре Томаса Гейнсборо, которую кто-то свистнул у его дядюшки Уиллоуби. И уморительному фарсу, в котором участвуют лжедворецкий, американский адвокат и его сестра-клептоманка, охотница за состояниями и, конечно, разваливающийся дом в английской провинции – словом, типичные герои Вудхауса
