No Beautiful Shore

No Beautiful Shore
a novel by Beverley Stone

"Stone's prose is detailed and engaging, and she certainly has an ear for dialogue. The author, herself born and raised in Newfoundland, catches the idiom, poetic phrasing, and cadence of the vernacular. ("'Oh my blessed fuck,' said Wanda, dropping her bag. 'Mom, look at the Jesus mess, will ya?'") She writes the teenagers especially well, and communicates with aplomb the distinct angst and anxiety of adolescence."
— Sarah Steinberg, Quill & Quire, April 2008
