Coming of Bill (or: Their Mutual Child; or: The White Hope)

by P. G. Wodehouse

The Coming of Bill chronicles the life of Kirk Winfield and his wife Ruth, focusing on the raising of their son, Bill. The story delves into the complexities of family dynamics, particularly the interference of Ruth's domineering aunt, Mrs. Lora Delane Porter, who attempts to impose her own ideas on Bill's upbringing. The book is known for its witty observations on social conventions and familial relationships, all told with Wodehouse's characteristic lighthearted and humorous style.
