Davies' Cornish Trilogy is a reading event! The descriptions of
academic lifes, loves and fantasies are wonderful, drawn with a
loving hand and described with sprightly wit.
The notion of a gypsy violin chop shop existing in the basement of
a suburban home in Canada is enchanting--you can almost feel the
steam as the cases are opened, revealing aged (and not so aged)
fiddles, in various states of rejuvenation.
Highly recommended. I have given several copies as gifts!
