Media Reviews
The Great Canadian Novel....An epic portrait of a nation's birth.
- Ottawa Citizen
Breathtaking. By the end of the book, Urquhart's message about the inexorable human need to remember seems almost set in stone.
- Time
Magnificent....A spellbinding tale....
- Independent (U.K.)
This book is not just delightful, but essential....Extraordinarily rewarding.
- Globe and Mail
Triumphant....
The Observer (U.K.)
Sculptors are like lovers in this saga, awakening rock instead of flesh....Urquhart powerfully evokes the wonders of stone and the carver's art, always linking them to the human body....The novel's moving promise [is] that, if we are true to our gifts, we can at least strike a brief form from the obdurate stone of our fate.
- Maclean's
Superb....Urquha
