"The compelling and imaginative first novel introduces an original tale tot eh Canadian literary scene. Shiela Watson writers with extreme economy and directness about the complexities of human nature and human destiny. A sharply experimental approach to the novelist's craft has resulted in an unusual pattern of composition that will immediately strike the eye. No less striking are the stark reality of the images evoked and the austere beauty of the prose" (from back cover).
