From the Wash Post review: "The kind of book that keeps you reading well past midnight; you grieve when it's over. Then you start pressing it on friends."

From the back of the book: "A gorgeous, slow-burning story set in the terrain of northern Ontario, where heartbreak and hardship are mirrored in the landscape.... In this universal drama of family love and misunderstandings, of resentments harbored and driven underground, Lawson ratchets up the tension with heartbreaking humor and consummate control, continually overturning one's expectations right to the very end."

I very much enjoyed this book. Very moving.
