'One of Coward''s best-loved classics now in a single-play edition. Coward''s wit and precision as a modern dramatist is nowhere better exemplified than in this classic modern plays from 1930. It continues to be one of his most performed works. Elyot Chase and Amanda Prynne (originally played by Gertrude Lawrence and Noel Coward), recently divorced from one another five years previously, arrive coincidentally at the same French hotel. They are honeymooning with their respective new spouses. Encountering one another by chance, each is at once horrified and fascinated by the other. Together they leave for Paris and begin a roundelay of quarrels and love intrigues that culminate in their getting back together. ''He is simply a phenomenon, and one that is unlikely to occur ever again in theatre history'' Terence Rattigan'… (més)

I would actually give this book 3 1/2. It is a little less predictable than "Hay Fever" and I think it is an interesting exploration of how intimacy and human relationships can go awry with people so oppositely matched. It's also really amusing to see the back and forth of the twisted conversations that the main characters have. It's hard to tell at some times whether they are going to end up in bed or simply killing eachother. It's sort of like the literary or even conversational equivalent to a roller coaster ride. (
