This comedy is a "Punch & Judy" show of the heart. "Punch," Jean-Philippe Gautier, a remarkably handsome Anglo-Frenchman, is deeply in love with Olympia, i.e., "Judy." Olympia, who is just as deeply in love with him, feels she has been cursed with what she (wrongly) considers to be a homely face and cannot believe that Jean-Philippe's frequent advances are not motivated by a Gallic contempt for Americans in general and in particular for rich American women in love with French heart-throbs. They spend their time clubbing one another because of their mutual misunderstandings, but finally marry at the end. Set in Vienna, Philadelphia and Paris, the story will appeal to those readers who appreciate gracefully written, seriously funny writing. Its target audience is the thoughtful, literate post-pubescent reader who has learned that the greatest acts of love often take place outside the bedroom. My motivation in writing this novel is expressed in its Dedication: To all who have willingly lost the battle between the sexes in order to win love. In writing this book, I wanted to present a realistic picture of what loving individuals are like, rather than the current twaddle written by psychology majors or by the broken-hearted.
