Previously published and now collected in one volume the characters in the twelve stories that comprise Dispatches From The Belleisle And Other Stories are completely believable, compelling and entertaining.
From picturesque Belleisle Bay to the frozen expanse of the Canadian north Dispatches rewards the reader with lively action and a genuinely robust serving of comedy and drama. These are narratives to savor.
Each main character struggles succeed in a difficult world. Win, lose or draw there is a certain nobility in their efforts; sometimes absurd, sometimes admirable and never boring.
Jim Read's sense of dramatic timing is impeccable. His ear for the spoken rhythms of the human voice is spot on. In fact his prose is a sort of current that seems to carry the story lines as a stream might a fallen leaf or a river would a broken branch.
