The Good Companions (Rediscovering Priestley)

Customer Reviews

Absolubtely lovely, charming book. - By: , 26 Jan 2001
This is an exquisite adorable tale of a theatre troupe travelling England in the first half of the twentieth century. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a soppy sentimental book, what I mean by my adjectives is merely that each character is so beautifully carved that they leap off the page & into your heart the instant you read of them. Again that sounds far more hideous than it is, in reality this is a nice book, one in which you truly wish each & every character well, & hold your breath in case anything nasty should befalll them, but don't worry as in the best theatre traditions it'll alll be alright on the night. Although very long I'm sure by the last page you will be wishing it was twice the length. In my opinion this book was Priestley's finest hour.
