|comment= I find it very hard to take this review seriously. The novel is set in St. John's, Newfoundland, not Nova Scotia as the reviewer would have us believe. If the reviewer can't even get the province straight, why should we believe anything else she writes. Perhaps the editors of this review should pay a little bit more attention too.

|comment= As a Brit not yet lucky enough to have travelled in Canada, I'm happy to have my geography corrected. Apologies to the author and to anyone in either Province who might have been offended by my confusion.
And yes, I should have paid more attention to the detail of the setting. I've duly asked that my error be corrected in the body of the review, which remains otherwise unchanged - because that detail does not change my over-all assessment of the book. My recommendation stands. As to why you should 'believe' it - you shouldn't, it is merely an opinion - an honest one, but not necessarily one that any given individual will agree with, even if had got my facts straight.
