Our Elizabeth: A Humour Novel

A wry first-person narrator depicts an eccentric, superstitious woman whose domestic ineptitude and social manners produce a succession of comic episodes. Household disasters, culinary misadventures, awkward entertainments and matchmaking schemes for a kindly sister supply episodic material, while recurring acquaintances reveal pretension and conventional attitudes within the social circle. The tone combines affectionate mockery and observational satire, and the work unfolds as short scenes and sketches that highlight personality contrasts, social faux pas, and the narrator's efforts to sustain married life with humor.
