(2) 4-6 When paintings from London's National Gallery, which has suffered flood damage, are temporarily relocated to narrator Dylan Hughes's Welsh hometown, it seems to be just what the former slate-mining community needs to improve its self-image. The comedy of misperception reigns in Dylan's endearingly ingenuous account of his town and family's struggle for financial and emotional stability. Eccentric supporting characters enhance the vivid tableau.
