Nov. 2, 2007: CANADIAN bookseller Reviews Adam's Peak
Adam’s Peak is one of six titles featured in CANADIANbookseller’s latest “Crossing Over” feature, which reviews trade titles that are attracting interest on college and university campuses across the country. Reviewer Emily Sinkins writes: “Heather Burt deftly intertwines the stories of Rudy and Clare, whose interactions while growing up as neighbours in Montreal were seldom, but who nevertheless so captured one another’s imagination that they influence each other profoundly in the present day […]. The Sri Lankan and Montreal settings are richly drawn, but the book really shines when it comes to its subtle exploration of family dynamics and its compelling depiction of the two main characters […]. Adam’s Peak is selling strongly at the Langara College Bookstore and has been picked up by instructors for in-class use, according to Manager Robert Leaf. ‘It’s had great reviews across the country and has terrific word-of-mouth buzz around here,’ he notes.”
