THE CRITICS SAY:
MONTRÉAL
"They (the publishers) have been careful not to iron out the idiosyncrasies of her style and she comes alive in all her enthusiasms and despairs, her love of the earth and its creatures, her scorn of hypocrisy, her grief and her laughing at the comedy of her mishaps."
TORONTO
--Robert Ayre,
The Montréal Star
"...Clarke Irwin have done the right thing by these remarkable words. The book is tastefully designed, carefully manufactured and splendidly embellished with a dozen excellent colour plates of Miss Carr's paintings from the years of the Journals. As usual, Clarke Irwin provides excellent value for the buyer's dollar."
VICTORIA
--The Canadian Reader
"I begin to see her now, I think, in the correct perspective, and my understanding of her has been immensely increased by the reading of her newly-published journals...Many dark places remained, and it is in these areas that the journals shed a much-needed light...The result is that you become aware of her living presence: it is as if she were writing you a letter in which she concealed none of her faults, glossed over none of her acerbities, but at the same time revealed to you with total candor her aspirations, intentions and opinions...The publishers are to be congratulated on making the journals available in such a handsome and readable form."
CLARKE IRWIN
