A Mixture of Frailties
The Salterton Trilogy, Book 3

Its a muddle, thought Monica. A muddle and I cant get it straight. I wish I knew what I should do. I wish I even knew what I want to doI want to go on in the life that has somehow or other found me and claimed me. And I want so terribly to be happy. Oh god, dont let me slip under the surface of all the heavyhearted dullness that seems to claim so many people.A Mixture of Frailties is so much more than the story of Monica Galls life in London and her education as a singer. It is an account of her education as a human being, and the result is an absorbing novel, comic in the true sense, vivid and frequently moving.
