The Rise and Fall of the House of Chumley is JD Salinger if he had a sense of humour. A no holds barred slice of Canadiana untainted by the hackneyed cliches of 'beer swilling, excessively polite Canadians, eh?' This is an honest and yet extremely entertaining yarn, delightfully well written. Warning: Once you start reading you're not going to want to put it down and you WILL want more. Here's hoping the author is working on a sequel. ”
