Recensione:

Praise for Shauna Singh Baldwin's English Lessons and Other Stories:

"Shauna Singh Baldwin's writing is distinguished by the visceral shock of truth it delivers.  These stories carry the elegiac tone of tales passed from generation to generation...Baldwin's prose is precise, nuanced and sensual. She threads her stories with ravishing glints of color."
--Toronto Star

"Baldwin devotes loving attention to details of tradition and culture--both emotionally and politically loaded, both sweet and sour...A fascinating collection rich in cultural insight.  These are life lessons worth sharing."
--Edmonton Journal
