Reviews
- This wry and beautiful book about ordinary people with intricate lives and complex relationships… an exquisite gift. - The Boston Globe
- ...the prose is animated with the skill of a writer who loves the people for their stubborn persistence. Small towns are the breeding grounds for characters like this, foibles and all... Warren makes every word she writes about the place believable. Which is good because a strange thing has happened; this oh so ordinary good-hearted little town has become the truly exotic destination. - National Post
- A mixture of archetypes and surprises, the characters in "Cool Water" endure and prevail... Atmospherically, "Cool Water" is unforgettable. - The Globe and Mail
Awards
- Winner, 2010 Governor General's Literary Award Winner
