Very different from Stace's rollicking first novel Misfortune (which is one of my very favoritest recent works), but very good. I wasn't sure about reading it because ventriloquist dummies have always given me the creeps, but, well... you don't have to see one at all, and you forget about that aspect of it. Really interesting insight into the shift from vaudeville to mid/late 20th century show business via the lives of a family of entertainers.
