Set in the little town of Dot in a forgotten part of the Baltic, it tells the story of Tibo Krovic, the good and honest Mayor of Dot, and his love for his secretary, the beautiful, lonely, but married, Mrs Agathe Stopak. In the quiet, respectable town of Dot there is nothing that Tibo can do about his love for Mrs Stopak but, one day, when she accidentally drops her lunch into a fountain, everything changes and their lives will never be the same again.
The Good Mayor is a story of love, loss, magic, friendship, wonderful food, a brass band, an Italian witch, a large lawyer, an occasional dog and a car chase at walking pace. Beautifully written, this is one of the finest debut novels in years.
©2008 Andrew Nicoll (P)2014 Audible, Inc.You can get an idea of the story from the summary, but this cannot do it justice and to try and tell more would constitute "spoiling", although the last sentence conveys the wide range of interest. At times suspense is built for so long it is almost as painful for the listener as for the characters and then the author resolves things in ways we could not imagine but laugh or nearly cry and always enjoy. The tale unfolds from the multiple viewpoints and through the person of the bearded and warty local Saint Walpurnia, who looks down on her charges in an imaginary Baltic area where places are called Dot, Dash and Umlaut and where the River Ampersand flows through. ( Doesn't that whet your appetite?)
There could be no better narrator than Penelope Keith whose flawless spoken English is such a pleasure and who captures every last nuance of expression and makes each of the many different characters real.
Apologies for raving -just loved it!
