"""The power of this largely autobiographical novel lies in its refusal to let anger give rise to gratitude. Nor is gratitude permitted to soften the rage of knowing that the comfort of the rich continues to be built with the egregiously paid labour of those who cannot push back."" —Le Devoir ""There are books that make us better people, and Dawson's is among them."" —Michel Marc Bouchard, le Combat national des livres de Radio-Canada ""With sensitivity, humour and engaging lucidity, Dawson's autobiographical novel shows us that there are many lived realities and that it is essential to be attentive to everyone's experience."" —Marc-Étienne Brien, Librairie Biblairie GGC"
