Praise
“A wonderfully alive, funny and inventive novel.” —David Adams Richards
“Lapena’s touch is sure, her labours invisible . . . [her] style is a gently exaggerated verisimilitude, her form spooky farce, all held aloft by sensitive portraits of four very different human[s].” —The Globe and Mail
“Wonderful high-purpose fun. The characters try to be unremarkable, but remarkable things keep happening to the. I enjoyed it tremendously.” —Paul Quarrington
“[An] enormously appealing first novel.” —Quill & Quire
“A delight to read: funny and tender and vibrant. The story rips along, told in vivid scenes that are masterfully paced. It’s all working in this novel: conflicted characters frustrated with each other, hope-mangled maybe, but still optimistic. It rings true in the most charming and most satisfying way. I gobbled it up.” —Eliza Clark
“I was attracted immediately to its humour, the implicit comedy in the matter-of-fact way Shari juxtaposes the mundane with the outlandish.” —Lynn Coady
“Things Go Flying is just plain fun, a continual giggle. Hilarious, fast-paced and irreverent, it is about a modern dysfunctional family that could be yours or mine—but thank goodness it is not.” —Owen Sound Sun Times
