About the Book

1. holiday: a period in which a break is taken from work or studies for rest, travel, or recreation. [literally: holy day] Many years ago, Mr. Golightly wrote a work of dramatic fiction that grew to be an astonishing international bestseller. But his reputation is on the decline and he finds himself badly out of touch with the modern world. He decides to take a holiday and comes to the historic village of Great Calne, hoping to use the opportunity to bring his great work up to date. But he soon finds that events take over his plans and that the themes he has written on are being strangely replicated in the lives of the villagers around him. As he comes to know his neighbors better, Mr. Golightly begins to examine his attitude toward love and to ponder the terrible catastrophe of his only son's death. And we begin to learn the true, and extraordinary, identity of Mr. Golightly and the nature of the secret sorrow that haunts him and links him to his new friends. Mysterious, light of touch, witty, and profound, "Mr Golightly's Holiday" confirms Salley Vickers's reputation as a writer of "fiction that entertains even as it considers serious questions of sin and redemption, love and loss" (Francine Prose, "People").

Review :
Praise for "Instances of the Number 3" "By the time "Instances of the Number 3" comes to a satisfying close, it has cleverly and poignantly investigated the guilts, longings, jealousies, fears and unexpected solaces that come with the disruption of a web of secrelty entwined lives...That the novel expresses its characters at both their best and worst, their most selfish and their most soulful, is a blessing in cynical times. It also is a testament to the craftiness and generosity of spirit of the author, whom one hopes to hear from much more."--Misha Berson, "The Seattle Times" Praise for "Instances of the Number 3 "By the time "Instances of the Number 3 comes to a satisfying close, it has cleverly and poignantly investigated the guilts, longings, jealousies, fears and unexpected solaces that come with the disruption of a web of secrelty entwined lives...That the novel expresses its characters at both their best and worst, their most selfish and their most soulful, is a blessing in cynical times.
