Review
"You will find scenes from this majestic novel burned into your mind forever" -- Alice Munro "One of the great undiscovered writers of our time" -- Michael Ondaatje "The novel is close to being a masterpiece. The characters, the light and the weather, the story itself - its beautiful tone and shape, its harsh and melancholy music - stay with you for days afterwards. The novel is simply breathtaking in its emotional range" -- Colm Toibin * Irish Times * "Exceptional... The book is pervaded by the humour and colour; intensely vivid, and very, very moving" * Independent * "Alistair MacLeod is a wonderfully talented writer" -- Margaret Atwood
