Praise for A Boy of Good Breeding
Winner of the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award
“It’s hard to read these charming tall tales and not root for the young Miriam Toews.” —The New York Times
“A Boy of Good Breeding caught me at the throat, made me laugh and weep with sad–sweet joy . . . [The characters] get under your skin, and finally, it seems, into your very blood, where they quicken the heart . . . Tonic for the spirit: a charming, deeply moving, unerringly human story, perfectly shaped and beautifully told.” —The Globe and Mail
“Reading [Toews] is like climbing into a fizzy bath of lunatic humour . . . Buried in the mysteries of parenthood, love and death are at least a couple of home truths.” —Toronto Star
“An earnest, sweet–tempered narrative.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[A] sweet, funny novel full of memorable, picaresque characters and unexpected drama.” —Publishers Weekly
