Synopsis TEMPEST TOST is a novel about an amateur group putting on a production of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST in a college town in Canada. A LEAVEN OF MALICE portrays the comic confusion that ensues when someone publishes in a small-town newspaper the fraudulent engagement notice of the son and daughter of two rival academics, who have been feuding for years. A MIXTURE OF FRAILTIES tells the story of a young girl's coming of age in Canada and abroad, Monica Gall is born in the small Ontario village of Salterton where, by all rights, she should have spent her life. However, a scholarship enables her to travel to Europe to study music, and, eventually, she becomes a celebrated singer. After several years abroad, Monica returns to find Salterton much less altered than she is.
