Fire in the Firefly

Farce isn't the kindest or most compassionate of genres and Fire in the Firefly stays true to that rule. No one in it deserves Brownie badges (unless there's a new one for juggling lies). And that's the idea. Saints acting with kindness and generosity is beside the point. * Toronto Star * A Richlerian skewering...hugely entertaining. * Toronto Star, for King John of Canada * Brilliant. * This Magazine, for King John of Canada * Marvelous and wickedly satirical. * Ottawa Citizen, for King John of Canada * A brilliant storyteller, Scott Gardiner clearly knows his way around men and women and the bonds they make and break. By turns, funny and melancholy, but always thought-provoking, Fire in the Firefly will stay with you for a very long time. * Terry Fallis, bestselling author of The Best Laid Plains * A rich, dark and highly accomplished debut. * Ottawa Citizen, for The Dominion of Wyley McFadden *
