Here in Nantucket Snow, gathered under one roof, are many of Jeanne Farewell’s characters,    some of whom have appeared in previous     publications and some who are new to the party. Meet Joshua Bilge, the company do-gooder who makes himself despised by everyone in the office. And Priscilla Bent, a cranky restaurant reviewer whose misery in having to stay in a French château is only exceeded by her misery in having to leave it.  An acquaintance with the persnickety party critic Benson can be hazardous - his own social conduct is far more reprehensible than that which he criticizes. Also present are the Cherry Hill Players, a troupe of theater people whose identities are predicated on appropriating the identities of others.  These and more make their appearance in the fourteen tales of Nantucket Snow.
