"Captivating....Waiting for Columbus is a mash-up of novelistic structures and influences. D.M. Thomas's masterpiece The White Hotel, with its puzzling and heart-rending symbology, comes immediately to mind.... A.S. Byatt's Possession, a hybrid of contemporary and historical fiction, also comes to mind....And like those works, it is one of those rare gems that works on a number of levels and makes ingenious use of eras shadowed by anxiety, uncertainty and tectonic, historic change — times like ours. Thomas Trofimuk's novel throws you for a loop, pulls you back, twists you around and opens your eyes to the world not just as it was, but as we find it."
— The Globe and Mail
"Powerful....A delicate but heady novel which will enthrall and captivate....The emotional impact of the novel's conclusion is devastating. Waiting for Columbus is a bravura performance."
— Edmonton Journal
"[Waiting for Columbus] should add to [Thomas Trofimuk's] reputation as an engaging storyteller, thanks to its fully developed characters and engaging plot....Though many writers try weaving several stories together to advance one master narrative through different protagonists, this is not easily accomplished. Trofimuk makes it look easy."
— Winnipeg Free Press
"A rich book, positive in its view of humanity...about love in its many forms and ultimately about the power of love to restore life and meaning....The detail and descriptions, the scent of vanilla lingering on women's skins and burnished light embroidering the Spanish setting, provide a sensual atmosphere for love and lust, to flourish and nourish [with] delightfully deep, layered, and mature writing....Stunningly lovely and deeply moving, difficult to put down and most welcoming to pick up....Intoxicating....gripping and contemporary....Unforgettable."
— The Owen-Sound Sun Times
"Inventive, charming....[A] multifaceted story that never loses its vitality. [Trofimuk's] literary gifts allow him to portray each character with depth, while at the same time creating a rising sense of suspense at the possibility of uncovering Columbus' true identity."
— Bookpage (US)
"A story of sorrow and loss that packs a huge emotional punch."
— The Times (UK)
"A tale told with gorgeous, often quirky detail. . . . Daring and remarkable. . . . Grace notes of longing, of yearning, are frequent, and lovely. So are the questions that compel them. . . . [Trofimuk is] a novelist of considerable talents."
— Charles Foran, in the Literary Review of Canada
