"[A]t the height of his literary power, Clarke boldly challenges, and transforms, Canadian sense and sensibility.” ( Globe and Mail)

“A beautifully written exploration of cultural conflicts and one woman’s struggle to find a place for herself emotionally.” ( Booklist)

“Clarke stays true to his politically charged style....An introspective examination of the cultural racism and the life of minorities, [a] detailed...narrative.” ( Publishers Weekly)
