From the Critics

"Dragons Cry is a lyrical evocation of history and memories drawn from characters that move between places and cultures. McWatt explores a fractured family with sympathy and courage." The Governor General''s Literary Awards Fiction Jury -- "Tessa McWatt showed a ton of promise in her first novel, Out of My Skin, but nothing to prepare us for such an exquisite follow-up. Dragons Cry is complex, subtle, emotionally rich an dvery smart...This is a small-press book that deserves major attention." NOW Magazine -- A story told in deceptively simple, often beautifully turned fragments becomes a yearning, complex, lyrical whole. Dragons Cry is passionate, moving, and true. Ronan Bennett
