Review
"Sheila Munro establishes herself as...a writer of sophistication and skill. Writing about a literary figure as revered as Alice Munro requires not only integrity but considerable verbal dexterity. Sheila Munro has both."
-Montreal "Gazette
"A perfect mix of biography and personal memoir."
-"Hamilton Spectator
"A restrained and respected entry in the child-of-a-famous-writing-parent genre....What comes through strongly in Sheila Munro's account...is Alice's youthful tenacity and ambition."
-Catherine Bush, "Globe and Mail
"The book is chock-full of lesser bombs, threatening to erupt but gently blanketed in love, understanding and affection."
-Carla Lucchetta, "Vancouver Sun
"While students of Alice Munro will relish the biographical revelations, the other side of the equation - the daughter's struggle for autonomy - has its own claim to uniqueness...To her credit and her reader's profit, she is clear-sighted about her predicament."
-Joan Givner, "Toronto Star
