I just finished Sandra Gulland new novel Game of Hope. I was spellbound, as will everyone with a special love for the Josephine trilogy. Sandra shows us Napoleonic France through the unique perspective of Josephine's young daughter Hortense. Enthralling!

Photographs uncompromisingly honest, yet poetic—Reva Brooks' mid-century portraits eerily match those of the heroine of my novel Refuge. “Had I heard about her —or tapped into some female-photographer truth?” lithub.com/at-the-interse… Literary Hub ECW Press bit.ly/2OEyyJp

In my novel Refuge, Cassandra MacCallum—a Canadian nurse in Mexico—is called upon to photograph a neighbour's daughter, who has died. I stared at Reva’s portrait of the dead child: this was the picture I had imagined Cassandra taking. bit.ly/2OEyyJp ECW Press Literary Hub

"Refuge is bejewelled by fine writing...in terms of structure and imagery, it is a marvel." Little pleases more than a well-written, thoughtful, insightful review. Thank you debra martens and CanadaNY Canadian Writers Abroad canadianwritersabroad.com/2018/09/12/ref… ECW Press

Toronto Star calls Merilyn Simonds's 18th novel, REFUGE, a "story that sweeps through the last century and around the globe, deeply engaged with the natural world, history and our human ties, one to another . . . bracing and beautiful." thestar.com/entertainment/…
