Moranna may be one of the most memorable characters in Canadian Literature. An engrossing read.

I just could not get into this book. I gave up after 75 pages

I picked this book up at Frenchy's where I tend to keep an eye out for Canadian authors. It is a moving, compassionate portrayal of a remarkable woman living with bi-polar disorder. This book provides remarkable insight into living with mental illness and does so with respect and humour in a very engaging tale. One of my favourite books, would highly recommend it for a Book Club and as a Canada Reads contender.

A very readable and engaging story. Although the story centers around Moranna and her struggles with mental illness, I did not find it to be an overly dark or heavy book. Verly good read.
