...brimming with tenderness for humanity and an almost religious elevation... * Globe and Mail *
...the experience is the only goal; the journey, the reward...a coherent vision of the world. * Montreal Gazette *
There is only one way to read the latter novels of Marie-Claire Blais. Slowly. One word, one phrase at a time, and then the next....Once it all starts to make sense, you feel utterly grateful and deeply connected, in tune with humanity, mesmerized, ready to go on and on. * Walrus *
There is pleasure in the rhythm and poetry of the language...this novel keeps company with James Joyce's Ulysses and Virginia Woolf's The Waves or Mrs. Dalloway. * Winnipeg Free Press *
