"Bissoondath handles his theme and his characters with such
dexterity and aplomb that it's hard to remember this is a first
novel...a powerful and troubling novel." — The Globe & Mail "The attention to character and narrative imagination are truly astonishing. Each anecdote could, in another writer's hands, have been an entire novel; their condensation here lends Doing the Heart Good an impressive richness." — The Vancouver Sun "…a satisfying, old-fashioned read filled with social commentary, physical comedy and Alistair's memories of unforgettable people." — The Gazette (Montreal) |
