Tempest-Tost | Robertson Davies
4 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
Book 1 of The Salterton Trilogy. An amateur production of The Tempest provides a colourful backdrop for a hilarious look at unrequited love. Mathematics teacher Hector Mackilwraith, stirred and troubled by Shakespeare's play, falls in love with the beautiful Griselda Webster. When Griselda shows she has plans of her own, Hector despairs on the play's opening night.

Like Downton Abbey meets Slings and Arrows. A light and delightful portrait of small-town theatre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

This morning was not nice to me so I made an executive decision that the weekend starts right now. #booksandbooze #tgif

There is a touch of the fascist in most adolescents; they admire the strong man who stands no nonsense; they have no objection to seeing the weak trampled underfoot; mercy in its more subtle forms is outside their understanding and has no meaning for them.

LauraAndTaraAndBooks Love Robertson Davies. I've read the Cornish Trilogy and the Deptford Trilogy, so this MUST be added to my TBR! 8y
