Really, this book has three titles, and I wasn't sure which to use or to use first in the label for this post (too long for the line); but, as you can see from the picture, it is also A Comedy of Religious Proportions: Book 1: Three Friends and an Old Lady.
The three friends are a Baptist pastor (Rick Apricot), a Rabbi (Moish Levi), and their blind friend, Quentin McJabe, who is grieving his son who had committed suicide and became blind when his son died. The old lady (Miz Faber) is a former opera singer whose voice is ... well, let's just say it carries. Really well. As in glass-cracking.
It also seems the Rabbi and Quentin had a disagreement some time back, and the feelings are still a little tense. But Quentin is paying a visit, arriving by train. For old time's sake, Moish agrees to meet Quentin and Rick for lunch.
Of course, being Baptist, Rick is constantly trying to convert both the Rabbi and Quentin, who happens to be Episcopal, and you know what they say about Episcopalians.
This could get interesting. Buy from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
I was given a free copy of this book by the author. Opinions and evaluations are my own.
