"Beautiful-- moving." --The Globe and Mail
"Like Fall on Your Knees ... [this is] the real thing, a finely crafted, genuinely moving novel ... [Hannah] makes us care about his lonely characters and care as much as they do about the smallest, simplest pleasures...." --Quill & Quire
"Hannah writes with a calm, seductive style and an almost Checkovian vision of subtle humour and generosity.... Despite its tragic overtones, the book has the sweetly elegiac mood of a long summer evening." --Maclean's
"A rich, beautifully composed portrait of a small town.... [A] novel that takes its time and assumes that readers want to be told a story." --R.M. Vaughan, Xtra!
"The Wise and Foolish Virgins is a lovely novel that poses fundamental questions about forgiveness.... Hannah writes daringly about people who have misshapen and tortured lives; he writes about them with spicy humour, and a compassionate understanding for their failings." --The Financial Post
