Recensioner i media

"Tender and surprising... A vivid and evocative tale" New York Times "Subtle but gripping... Beautifully written, with the locations brilliantly evoked" -- Francesca Cookney Sunday Mirror "Road Ends is beautifully written, evocative and tender. It will haunt you long after you've finished it and leave you impatient for more" -- Richenda Miers Country Life "Austere, humane and accomplished, Road Ends depicts a wilderness of the heart through which some roads pass" -- Richard Greene Literary Review "Lawson grasps the anguished allure of family life played out against the vast, wintry backdrop of the Canadian landscape. Deftly she keeps our interest by dividing up the chapters between the characters to give shifting points of view on some universal themes" -- Rosanna Greenstreet Richmond Magazine
