Mame, Vera Charles, and Mame’s young charge Patrick all return in this sequel to the best-selling novel of the 1950s. Though the opening chapter begins in 1958, it soon returns to Patrick’s youth, as he recalls the extraordinary European adventure he took with his Aunt Mame in 1937. It starts innocently enough in Paris, but in true Mame-fashion, hijinks and hilarity ensue, as an oblivious Mame and a concerned Patrick travel around a continent that is on the brink of war.
“Vera [Charles] was brought up in Pittsburgh, but she spoke with such a determined Mayfair elegance that not even the English could understand much of what she was saying. This may or may not have accounted for her enormous success on the London stage.”
--Patrick Dennis
