Outside Canada, one thinks of A.S. Byatt or Annie Proulx." -- "Times Literary Supplement" <br>"Written by a master storyteller." -- "Winnipeg Free Press" <br>"Psychologically astute, richly rendered and deftly paced. It's a pleasure from start to finish." -- "Toronto Star" <p>"From the Hardcover edition." Read more...
