GENTLEMAN OVERBOARD

A trick book and a slight one, but exceptionally well handled. Standish, well-to-do, conventional, proper father and husband, suddenly stifled by his well-ordered life, goes off alone and boards a small passenger boat playing between Hawaii and Panama. One morning he slips and falls overboard -- and the book is the succession of his reflections during the ten hours before he goes under. Only skin-deep, but genuine. Certainly original.
