About this book
Jerry by Jean Webster is a sparkling romantic comedy that follows a young American's playful pursuit of love amid the sunlit terraces and social niceties of early 20th-century Italy. When the amiable, restless Jerry finds himself stranded and bored at a hotel, the arrival of the elegant Constance Wilder turns his idleness into a determined — and hilariously awkward — courtship. To win her attention he adopts a rollicking disguise as a peasant tour guide, launching a lively charade of mistaken identity, witty banter, and mutual teasing that slowly kindles real affection.
A classic work of romance and literary fiction first published in 1907, Jerry captures the manners, humor, and transatlantic travel popular with Edwardian readers. Jean Webster’s light touch and keen ear for dialogue make this a clean, sweet, and laugh-out-loud tale of flirtation, class, and the curious games people play when courting. The narrative’s gentle satire of social conventions and the warmth of its protagonists give the novel enduring appeal.
Perfect for fans of historical romance, romantic comedy, or anyone who enjoyed Daddy-Long-Legs, this audiobook is an uplifting, character-driven listen — an ideal escape for commutes, cozy afternoons, or anyone craving a bright, old-fashioned love story.
