Reviews
"A cross between The Catcher in the Rye and Anne of Green Gables." — The Winnipeg Sun
"A really fine book about small town life in Canada, melding history, religion, politics and hockey ... The characters in Before the Flood have stayed with me since finishing the book." — The Victoria Times-Colonist
