| | Amazon.ca: Books: The Dutch Wife (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) |
 | | Eric McCormack's Dutch Wife is a bewitching and singularly odd little novel, an amazingly coherent mélange of small-town CanLit and world-travelling fantasy that recalls Poe, Monty Python, Melville, '50s B movies, Indiana Jones, and Henry James. |
 | | Thomas is soon hospitalized for a mortal illness, and our narrator becomes privy to his remarkable family history--a story that involves husband-swapping, anthropological adventures in Peru and the South Pacific, true love lost to the claws of death, plague-ridden shiploads of exotic animals, a town populated by one-legged Scotsmen, and more. |
 | | The Dutch Wife is a compulsively readable novel, seductive enough to wholly escape the boundaries of credibility. |
