“No Place for a Woman is an entertaining and illuminating book that ensures that the words of Ella Manuel, an independent and talented woman who fiercely loved her corner of the world, will get continued exposure—a worthy endeavour in itself.”
– The Miramichi Reader

“…[A]fter his mother’s death [Tony Berger] gathered her papers, and… compiled this charming book, most of it Manuel’s own writing, with him contributing introductory paragraphs to most of her essays and stories, as well as a 52-page recounting of her life–the facts and his memories… While the facts are interesting, the book comes alive with Ella Manuel’s writing. Her distinctive voice rings through whether she is angrily defending the seal hunt or describing the heaven on Earth that is the view from the window of the home she built (or paid others to build) in Woody Point… Manuel’s radio experience translates impeccably. Her ear accurately records the words as she heard them and her hand reproduces them perfectly on the page.”
