Salterton Trilogy: Leaven of Malice (Audiobook)

from ben_a

Another re-read. For some reason or other, despite enjoying Leaven of Malice years ago, I never proceeded to the other two Salterton books. I read Tempest-Tost last week, and it's a classic Davies: spinning gold from straw. Leaven of Malice may even be better. re-read 1.2.2008 Finished 1.2.08

from ragwaine

Just as good as Tempest Tost. How does he make ordinary events so interesting.

from AJBraithwaite

Loved it. Richly drawn characters, good and bad. Reminds me of Trollope and Dickens: definitely in the same vein of writing.

from busterrll

Typical Robertson Davies In other word a "gem" Well written with not a single superfluous line. Once picked up, you will not want to put it down.

from DinadansFriend

An entertaining novel. A false announcement of an engagement leading to a possible libel suit is worked quite well for its comic potential. Part two of the Author's "Salterton Trilogy". Originally published in 1954.
