Praise for Rupert’s Land:

“Canadians are – very belatedly – starting to come to grips with the reprehensible treatment of First Nations peoples in their history and its legacy of pain in the present; Quartermain’s novel contributes to that process.”
~ Publishers Weekly

“The background of despair is familiar from writers like Sinclair Ross, but the way Quartermain brings an age to life while staring unflinchingly at its attitudes and injustices through the eyes of children is reminiscent of To Kill A Mockingbird. The same innocent intelligence that characterizes Scout in that novel informs Cora’s and Hunter’s acute observations, conveyed in a blend of pitch perfect dialogue and inner voices.”
~ Margaret Thompson, The Coastal Spectator

“Quartermain’s background in poetry is evident in the novel’s lyricism. The imagery is vivid … the picture Quartermain paints will stay with you for some time.”
~ Megan Moore Burns, Quill and Quire

“Rupert’s Land is as vast as it is packed.”
~ Laurie D. Graham, Alberta Views

“Tragic, and perhaps redemptive.”
~ Pat Mackenzie, subTerrain
