Unfailingly optimistic Emma Corrigan has a problem. During an episode of flight turbulence, she tells her troubles (the job she hates, the seemingly perfect boyfriend she is not sure she loves) to the handsome man sitting next to her. Then, who walks into her office the next morning but the man from the flight--who turns out to be Jack Harper, the American CEO of Panther Cola, in for a weeklong visit. The author of the SHOPAHOLIC trilogy delivers hilarious antics involving Emma, Lissy her work-crazed best friend, Jemima their awful flatmate--and of course, Jack, the man who knows all her secrets.

Dickens's novel--in its day, one of his most beloved--follows the career of the depraved dwarf Quilp, and introduces poor, innocent Little Nell, who is too good for this world. When Little Nell and her grandfather are forced to flee Quilp's evil clutches, various upright characters try to intervene and save them, but the frail and debilitated Nell dies as the result of her troubles, and her aged grandfather soon follows. The lushly sentimental and prolonged death of Little Nell sent an entire nation into mourning when the novel appeared in serial form.
