...a wonderful read where complex issues are expressed through
eloquent language. With David and Loretta, Ray Robertson has
introduced two of the most magnetic characters in modern Canadian
literature. Historical accuracy and vivid depiction of time and
place is coupled with imagination to offer a fascinating
alternative to a deeper story. Not only does this novel make an
important contribution to our growing knowledge of local Black
history and life in late Victorian Canada, it is a powerful and
timeless insight into the human condition.-- "Northern Terminus:
The African Canadian History Journal"
Apart from its vivid sense of time and place, the strength of
Robertson's novel is the steely distinctiveness of this voice, as
unwavering in its prickly pessimism as it is touching in its
untethered yearning.-- "Toronto Star"
