"Two Solitudes is MacLennan's best-known novel, one of those rare books whose title alone shaped how this country speaks and thinks." The Walrus "Two Solitudes, Hugh MacLennan's 1945 masterpiece, sets out to do nothing less than explain Quebec to the rest of Canada and harmonize the dominion of future citizens." Toronto Review of Books "Here is the substance of Canada, her countryside, her cities, her conflicting cultures, and, above all, her people." The Canadian Forum
