| Review: |
"Sheila
Fischman brings Francois Gravel's wonderful Fillion et Freres into
English so adroitly that you aren't aware of reading a translation
except for one thing: No one in English Canada seems capable of
writing a novel from the point of view of a man whose life is defined
by his obligations to his extended family and the world that encompasses
it."
