Publisher's Summary
"It's a muddle, thought Monica. A muddle and I can't get it straight. I wish I knew what I should do. I wish I even knew what I want to do...I want to go on in the life that has somehow or other found me and claimed me. And I want so terribly to be happy. Oh god, don't let me slip under the surface of all the heavy-hearted dullness that seems to claim so many people...."
A Mixture of Frailties is so much more than the story of Monica Gall's life in London and her education as a singer. It is an account of her education as a human being, and the result is an absorbing novel, comic in the true sense, vivid and frequently moving.
©1958 Robertson Davies (P)1996 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
What the critics say
"Third in a trilogy, yet independently satisfying, this presentation encourages listeners to seek more of Davies's beguiling prose." ( AudioFile)
"It is impudent, amused and amusing, and sterling entertainment." ( New York Times)
"Davies is equally familiar with the world of the Canadian provinces and with that of musical London, and portrays both with rich humor and sympathetic understanding." ( Chicago Tribune)
