Martha Baillie’s The Incident Report
“Baillie’s novel contains real tenderness, rendered in beautiful prose with compelling restraint.”
—Quill and Quire
In a Toronto library, notes appear, written by someone who believes he is Rigoletto, the hunchbacked jester from Verdi’s opera. Convinced that the young librarian, Miriam, is his daughter, he promises to protect her. Little does he know how much loss she has already experienced; or does he? Both mystery and love story, The Incident Report daringly explores the fragility of our individual identities.
