Reviews

"Audacious, original and profoundly moving ... A deeply affecting work ....This is a document for the living, and its virtues are more than literary; healing is a likely outcome of a book imbued with the righteous anger, compassion and humanity of Swing Low."
--"The Globe and Mail
" A fine, fluent book teeming with anecdote and incident, echoes and images ....Swing Low is a detailed, textured portrait, not just of human life, but of a community, of small-town, Mennonite Manitoba."
--"Quill &Quire
"Toews' novelistic skills (the award-winning comic novels Summer of My Amazing Luck and A Boy of Good Breeding) are richly apparent in her evocative characterizations and in the deft drama of the narrative ....A profoundly affecting book."
