Fiction
In the illustrious history of the theatrical Fishers, there
are two Georges. One is a peculiar but endearing
11-year-old, raised in the seedy world of 70s boarding
houses and backstages, now packed off to school for the
first time; the other, a garrulous ventriloquist's dummy who
belonged to George's grandfather, a favorite traveling act
of the British troops in World War II. The two Georges know
nothing of each other--until events conspire to unite them
in a search to uncover the family's deepest secrets.Weaving
the boy's tale and the puppet's "memoirs," BY GEORGE unveils
the fascinating Fisher family--its weak men, its dominant
women, its disgruntled boys, and its shocking and dramatic
secrets. At once bitingly funny and exquisitely tender,
Stace's novel is the unforgettable journey of two young boys
separated by years but driven by the same desires: to find a
voice, and to be loved.
