Macdonald’s “Madness” one of the best novels reviewer has read
A Possible Madness
Look for this nice review fortcoming in the Charlottetown Guardian (August 13).
“…one of the best novels I have ever read in any language.”
“What makes this such a remarkable novel is that everything about it is first-class. The setting – a small decaying town in Cape Breton – is described accurately, and always with appreciative love. The characters are varied, lifelike, and portrayed with appreciation too. The plot, or rather plots, work together as neatly as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, remaining plausible, rather than artificial. And the style is good plain English, without jargon – contemporary, yet natural, and right in line with the best writers in English of former generations. The plot is one which actually occurs in many parts of the world today.”
A Possible Madness by Frank Macdonald is now in stores and on-line.
