Praise for this book
Farce isn't the kindest or most compassionate of genres and Fire in the Firefly stays true to that rule. No one in it deserves Brownie badges (unless there's a new one for juggling lies). And that's the idea. Saints acting with kindness and generosity is beside the point.
A rich, dark and highly accomplished debut.
Marvelous and wickedly satirical.
A Richlerian skewering...hugely entertaining.
Brilliant.
A brilliant storyteller, Scott Gardiner clearly knows his way around men and women and the bonds they make and break. By turns, funny and melancholy, but always thought-provoking, Fire in the Firefly will stay with you for a very long time.
