Quill and Quire Review

Glass Boys received a rav­ing review (both fea­tured and starred) in the July/August issue of Quill & Quire. The reviewer really con­nected to the novel, and had won­der­ful things to say.

“Nicole Lun­dri­gan has been tee­ter­ing on the cusp of ‘next big thing’ sta­tus since her debut, Unrav­el­ing Arva, was tagged as a top-10 pick for 2004 in The Globe and Mail… There is a very good chance that her lat­est effort, Glass Boys, will finally cat­a­pult Lun­dri­gan into the spot­light… The momen­tum is so strong that a reader is com­pelled to reread pas­sages to revel in the prose. Her writ­ing is so enthralling, and the story so full of sus­pense and inter­est, that there is a temp­ta­tion to allow the pages to fly by when they really should be savoured…”

“Com­par­isons to other New­found­land authors are inevitable, and while Lundrigan’s writ­ing draws on themes of hard­ship, dif­fi­cult fam­ily rela­tion­ships, and abuse that will be famil­iar to read­ers of Michael Win­ter and Lisa Moore, her voice is strong enough to stand on its own. Per­haps, with her lat­est effort, she will finally earn the right to have up-and-comers com­pared to her.”
