What Members Thought
Even though I didn't enjoy it as much as Fifth Business, I'm going to be fair and rate it against 'all the books'. The Frederick Davidson narration was pitch perfect, he captured the stage-play quality of the book and its dialogue perfectly. Davies is wry and full of astute observations - I'll look forward to finding out what follies lie ahead for the good folks of Salterton.

Enjoyable, and at times, laugh out loud moments about a group of local theater members who get together to perform the Tempest. Hector was my favorite character. He's the most pathetic but also the funniest character in the book.
I recommend this book. I may continue to with the trilogy. We'll see how things go. ...more

This is basically a 1950s Canadian version of Waiting for Guffman, complete with pitifully socially awkward characters, each with a very unrealistic conception of her own abilities. Poor Hector.
This was a blast! My first Davies, his first novel. More to come. Hooray!
