"A picaresque adventure on one level, and a searching investigation of Canadianness, especially on the Prairies."
-- Globe and Mail
"A splendid ripe momentum."
-- Toronto Star
"A deliciously woven tale."
-- Ottawa Citizen
"A densely suggestive world. . . . There are tenderly passionate scenes, absurd farce, directly realistic detail in landscape and a general exhilaration in the novel's view of the enigmas of human personality."
-- Windsor Star
"Van Herk's sense of the West is palpable. And her language is muscular."
-- Quill & Quire
"Arachne Manteia is a truly wonderful character."
-- Border Crossings
