Toews\' writing is remarkable in that she\'s able to convey that emotion so palpably to her readers ... The narrative is also peppered with exquisitely descriptive passages that completely pull readers into the author\'s world ... Toews\' characters are interesting and complex, each displaying hidden motives and contradictions that make them completely human ... While they might be drawn from the author\'s life, Toews\' ability to convey their thoughts and personalities so vividly is really quite a remarkable accomplishment.
