Endorsements
“Fallis writes from another time, when Wodehouse and Leacock and Twain roamed the earth. May he never become extinct.” Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author.
“Mark Twain once observed that the “secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow.” In One Brother Shy, Terry Fallis locates this secret source in a very moving yet often funny story...In so doing, the author marries joy with sorrow. The result is a wonderful, powerful tale of pain and redemption.” Joseph Kertes, Author.
Reviews
This novel has a fable-like quality and philosophical depths that Fallis plumbs with a deceptive subtlety–you will come for the story about an athletic whiz kid and leave contemplating where true happiness really lies ...Globe and Mail
