"Cashel Byron's Profession" by Bernard Shaw

To my surprise, I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Finished reading it in NB, where we went to help care for Lucas while Lochlan was being born. I bought this book a long time ago, based on the fact that one of my high school compositions about the play "Joan of Arc" closely matched what Bernard Shaw had himself written in the introduction. Based on that, I figured we were simpatico and that I would like this book as well. I guess the subject matter of a prize fighter made me reluctant to read it, but I need not have feared. Book contains: very intelligent and wealthy gentle woman; very stupid but kind hearted boxer who falls in love with her, and turns out to be a gentleman as well; ironic observations by the author that made me laugh out loud; British class system; romance.
