About This Item
Other than a mark on the lower text block, this is a tight and unmarked copy-" In a sedate New Brunswick town, a dozen lives collide unexpectedly. From acclaimed playwright Don Hannah comes Canada's version of the Southern novel--a bountiful story of skewed family relationships and thwarted love, told with tenderness, humanity, and delicious hilarity." From the Back Cover: "Beautiful-- moving." --The Globe and Mail "Like Fall on Your Knees. [this is] the real thing, a finely crafted, genuinely moving novel. [Hannah] makes us care about his lonely characters and care as much as they do about the smallest, simplest pleasures." --Quill & Quire "Hannah writes with a calm, seductive style and an almost Checkovian vision of subtle humor and generosity. Despite its tragic overtones, the book has the sweetly elegiac mood of a long summer evening." --Maclean's "A rich, beautifully composed portrait of a small town. [A] novel that takes its time and assumes that readers want to be told a story." --R.M. Vaughan, Xtra! "The Wise and Foolish Virgins is a lovely novel that poses fundamental questions about forgiveness. Hannah writes daringly about people who have misshapen and tortured lives; he writes about them with spicy humor and a compassionate understanding for their failings." --The Financial Post
