Palaver at the Pony

Voorkant
AuthorHouse, 21 okt 2004 - 220 pagina's

This light-hearted novel is concerned with the preservation of witty and meaningful conversation. As OHenry wrote, One should inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence. The three middle-aged main characters are of widely different backgrounds: Two Welshmen, TEDDY VAUGHAN-JONES, the sophisticate; WILL, the consummate roue; and ELIZABETH, an American of scholarly bent, meet regularly at a pub, THE WELSH PONY. They are dedicated to maintaining the Art of Conversation which seems to be fading in this fast-moving world of high-tech communication.

The happy times at the pub are in jeopardy when the Department of Immigration limits Elizabeths stay in Britain. Can either of the confirmed bachelors, Teddy or Will, make the supreme sacrifice to marry Elizabeth to keep her in Wales?

Over de auteur (2004)

As an active scientist, Lainie Montaigne, Ph.D. and Professor of Biochemistry, published over fifty papers in leading scientific journals under her former name, J.L.Wiebers, Ph.D. After taking up literary efforts, she received a Leibovitz Award (monetary) in the Second National Legacies Writing Contest for short stories. She has also published stories and poetry in Daytona Lifestyle Magazine and in the anthology Inkslingers From The World’s Most Famous Beach. Dr. Montaigne was fortunate to be invited by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, for a two-year research sabbatical at the University of Wales. This opportunity provided memories that now appear in her writing — particularly in her literary novel, PALAVER AT THE PONY, set in Wales, U.K.
