The title completely threw me.
As I tucked into what I thought was going to be an insight into Wordsworth's and Keats' attempts to trade manuscripts on very early versions of eBay, it turned out to be a potentially miserable account of a laid off journalist's adulterous wife, impending house foreclosure and experimentation with drug dealing.
What saved it from bringing a downer on the whole vacation was that it was really funny.
As my English tutor would have asked, "Who'd've thunk it, eh?"
