"If there were ever any doubt in my mind about Alanna Rusnak's
extraordinary talent, she has fully eradicated any uncertainty with her
latest novella, 'The Ghost of Iris Carver'. Not only was she able to
create deeply engaging characters and bring them fully to life on the
page, but she was equally capable of expertly placing them into a
conceptual labyrinth and conceal them just behind the venerable, sacred,
fourth wall. Sorry Margaret (Atwood), move over Madeleine (Thien),
shake a leg Miriam (Toews), and so-long-for-now Ann-Marie (MacDonald),
Heather (O'Neill), and Elizabeth (Hay). I have a new favourite Canadian
author and she's one to watch."
