		Ottawa's Elisabeth Harvor is best known for her short stories--collections like Let Me Be the One, which was a finalist for the Governor General's Award in 1996, and If Only We Could Drive Like This Forever.
		There are details of Kay's life that parallel Harvor's (marriage to an architect who took her to Europe for a time, divorce from him, two sons, a move from Ottawa to Montreal to write), and this novel may well be completely autobiographical--that's something for literary sleuths and gossip columnists to sort out.
		Harvor's ear for dialogue is true; she seems to know exactly what lovers say to each other, and she reoprts this without a touch of saccharine cuteness.

		I also really admire the way Harvor so honestly and viscerally evokes the sights and smells of the real world, as in the scene with Mitchell where Claire hasn't changed since she got home from her job (at a medical clinic) and is afraid she might be smelling a "little too sour and female.
		But Harvor is smart, and while she plays about the edges of this cliche, she never allows it to take over or foreclose rich possibilities of her narrative.
		One of the delights in Harvor's novel is her satirical treatment of the faddism surrounding alternative medicine in all its flaky, New Age splendor.

	Elisabeth Harvor: Book Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Harvor has taken a fictional character and through the mastery of her prose has imbued her with life—one filled with honesty, intelligence, courage, and a full share of hardships......
		[Harvor is] such a subtle writer that she lulls you into sleepy complacency, then pulls the rug out from under you with an impossibly clever line, a stunningly original image, an observation of Chekhovian depth.
		Harvor redefines sexuality for us, and the pervasive sexuality of her poetry, its multifaceted eroticism, is one of the defining features of her work.

		Harvor was the winner of the Alden Nowlan Award for the year 2000.
		Her writing is marked by surprises, a style that's akin to synapses firing in the brain; there are no concrete bridges, just jolts of energy linking cliff to cliff, idea to idea.
		Readers are held in the grip of her characters' predicaments as with a precise, original voice her straightforward prose - utterly devoid of gimmicks - flawlessly builds to glimmering resolutions, or irresolutions, as the case may be."

	All Times Have Been Modern - Elisabeth Harvor - Penguin Books
		"Elisabeth Harvor has produced a body of fiction that is crystal clear, poetic, and courageous.
		A beautiful writer who doesn't shy from ugly truths, she explores the near limits of desperation and the far fields of childhood in work that is fresh, uncomfortable and risky.
		As in Lessing's novel, Harvor explores the social and pyschological blocks that hinder a woman's creativity....But that's as far as I would take the analogy.

	The Antigonish Review
		Harvor finds those almost classic moments of tragedy — times when her characters are most vulnerable, times when we feel for them both pity and fear.
		Harvor depicts these small but chilling snatches of failure, conveying the dread of inadequacy that must in some way threaten us all.
		She is released from the dress and from her tragic childhood, set free by a pair of scissors and by an amusing childhood memory.

	Let Me Be the One
		Her protagonists are women confronting cruel discoveries about love, sex and family -- women who often buoy themselves with a pleading hope, yet surprise themselves with hidden strengths and insights.
		Whether delineating a young nursing student determined that she will ''not ask for anyone's permission'' for her own happiness or a witty married woman remembering childhood incest in sessions with an intermittently attentive psychotherapist, the stories are given an engaging structure by the wry, mercurial wanderings of the characters' minds.
		Throughout ''Let Me Be the One,'' Harvor unexpectedly gathers the sinuous threads of thought, mood and memory into brilliantly patterned revelations.
