From the Critics

â??Powerful and stylistically rich â?¦ His best book yet â?¦ Yasmin, in her attempts to blend the very different worlds within her into a satisfying sense of self, is as good a symbol of this country as we could ask for.â? â?? The Gazette (Montreal) â??A multilayered journey from darkness to lightâ?¦rich in character as well as emotion.â? â??The Hamilton Spectator â??Heart-wrenching â?¦ with a searing intensity and a powerful sensitivity that sweeps aside the politics of identity and lays bare the painful and beautiful human condition.â? â??The Vancouver Sun
