Reviews
“[A] compact, quietly thoughtful, emotionally compelling novel . . . this is the third tale concerning the Radey family of Toronto (the others are Shadow of Ashland and A Witness to Life) to take us on both an outward journey and an interior expedition, this time into the heart of the relationship between father and son. . . . It takes a special writer to delineate the complexities of blood kinship while maintaining the reader’s sympathy for each character. . . . Green expertly commingles the mythical past with the hard truths of the present in Leo Nolan’s aspiration to be a good father and a good son in this heartfelt novel. It may not be fashionable, but it sure feels good.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
