Advance praise for Annabel:
From the St. John's Telegram:
"Annabel is an unforgettable novel of struggles, personal and
inter-personal, and Winter's empathetic voice does them justice in a
way that connects reader to story. Destined to be one of the biggest
novels out of Newfoundland this year, this is a story of isolation and
a communication breakdown that breaks a family down, and breaks the
reader down along with them."
From the Quill & Quire:
". . . dramatic, thematically rich . . . skillful prose . . . an impressive first novel."
A personal note to our publisher, Sarah MacLachlan, from Sarah Ramsey, a bookseller at TYPE Forest Hill:
"I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for sending me a reading copy of Annabel. It is such a beautiful book, reminiscent of Middlesexby Jeffrey Eugenides with the influence of Farley Mowat and all the
native folktales my father read to my sisters and I as children. I was
also impressed by the tenderness of the story -- Kathleen Winter is
such a generous and expressive storyteller."
From blogger Jeanne Duperreault:
"Extremely
beautifully written."
From Anansi Review Crew member Charlene Martel:
"Annabel is fast becoming one of my favourite reads this year and I am sure I am driving my friends crazy by talking about it every chance I get."
From Anansi Review Crew member Gary Johnston:
"Beautifully written, luscious description, solid character definition. Kathleen, you've done it again."
