"Brewster's Millions" by George Barr McCutcheon is a humorous novel written during the early 20th century. It follows the intriguing story of Montgomery "Monty" Brewster, a young man who unexpectedly inherits a million-dollar fortune from his grandfather. However, he quickly learns that he must spend the entire amount within a year without retaining any visible assets to inherit an even larger fortune left to him by a recently deceased uncle. The opening of the novel introduces us to Monty during his birthday celebration with his affluent friends, where they toast to his life and wealth. The mood abruptly shifts when he receives word of his grandfather's sudden death and subsequent inheritance. As Monty grapples with the emotional weight of losing his grandfather, he faces the challenge of spending his inheritance in a year while navigating the expectations of his family and society. The story sets the stage for Monty’s comedic exploits as he attempts to comply with the peculiar conditions of his grandfather’s will while coming to terms with his new status and responsibilities.
