When a Man Marries

Delightfully witty and packed with irresistible charm, When a Man Marries follows a young divorcée navigating an unexpected web of mistaken identities, social scandal, and romantic complications—all under one quarantined roof. When Jimmy Wilson’s friends gather to cheer him up after a bitter divorce, an uninvited health inspector places the entire party under strict quarantine. What follows is a comedic parade of secrets, flirtations, and chaotic revelations. First published in 1909, this classic comedy of manners offers a satirical take on early 20th-century society with a modern sense of humour that still resonates today. Mary Roberts Rinehart, known as the American Agatha Christie, turns from mystery to mischief in this sharp and stylish tale of love and laughter. Perfect for fans of vintage humour, social farce, and light-hearted romance, When a Man Marries is a literary gem you won’t want to miss.
