Reviews
- Kilbourne mines memory and voices in ways that are startlingly similar to Margaret Laurence, that Canadian touchstone of small-town feeling. S h e is a promising writer who gives her characters a respectful fragility. - University of Toronto Quarterly
- Kilbourne is a talented writer with a facility for language and an intriguing story. - Quill & Quire
- Kilbourne’s deceptively simple prose employs shifts of memory and point of view, place and time to build a narrative structure that supports a gentle, sweetly moving climax. - The Globe and Mail
