Shunning, The

The Shunning "tears heads of cliches, making us see a whole place freshly. It is a complete world, reeling and tilting but enduring. A fine book, full of bone and muscle. A totality."-Christopher Wiseman, Books in Canada"The Shunning shuns easy answers and offers a complex vision of lives lived in all their contradictions. It's a powerful, humane, and moving book."-Douglas Barbour, Toronto Star
