“ The Great Pandolfo" tells the story of Paula Field, a woman known for her ability to bring joy to others. Despite her large-heartedness and widespread friendships, she faces occasional criticism and accusations of insincerity. Paula's personal charm attracts numerous admirers, including Sir Spencer Babington, a prominent figure in post-war diplomacy. While Paula mourns the loss of her soldier husband, Geoffrey Field, she remains loyal to his memory and declines the advances of potential suitors. However, Sir Spencer Babington, who has loved her for years, persists in his pursuit. As they find themselves in Paula's small flat, emotions run high, and Spencer, unaware of the unfavourable circumstances, proposes to her. Amidst a sunless and stifling atmosphere, Paula's patience wears thin, and she must navigate her genuine gratitude for Spencer while resisting his persistent advances. The unfolding events reveal the complexities of relationships and the challenges faced by a resilient woman like Paula.” — Google BooksInscription/Signature/Marks
