Wow! I'm the first person to review this book! *I feel special*

It was good. A bit depressing, since its a bunch of stories in one book that are all centered around the same thought: truth. "What does it mean to be true?" he quotes. They are all themed around heartbreak and betrayal; whether it concerns family or lovers. It makes you wonder about your life and philosopy in general. What happens when you stop loving someone, or they stop loving you? Redhill's book portays much meaning, and is very propeling.

Michael Redhill came to Newfoundland, for the March Hare writers weekend last year. He is such a great story teller, and I haven't read or even heard his name before. I listened closely, as he told a story from Fidelity. His voice was so smooth, and relaxing. I picked up Fidelity soon after,and was blown away by the honesty, and the way Redhill really captures different relationships. It was a great, easy read, but deep on many levels. This is a great book, which leaves you with something to think about, long after the last page.

The voice is straightforward. Within the seemingly simple stories creep fantastic insights into the human condition.
