In 'A Mixture of Frailties,' Robertson Davies presents the story of Louisa Bridgetower, whose will stuns the town of Salterton. Her son Solly will not inherit until he has a child, and a large part of her fortune will be destined for the education of a young artist. The executors choose Monica Gall, a local gospel singer, to study in England. Through Monica's life, Davies explores themes such as art, genius, music, love, and family relationships, offering a portrait of the human soul with its Canadian peculiarities. This novel is the third installment of the Salterton Trilogy.
