The Salterton Trilogy by Robertson Davies

A witty, interlinked comic saga set in a small Canadian town that follows an ensemble of musicians, writers, clergy, and social climbers as their artistic ambitions, romantic entanglements, jealousies, and petty rivalries produce farcical misunderstandings and moral reckonings; through sharp satire and affectionate characterization, the stories explore creativity, pretension, community life, and the tension between public image and private longing.
