Praise for Arms

Arms is a strange, surreal, magical story about a girl whose arms are amputated by flying shingles when her home actually explodes because of the emotional volatility of her parents. . . . extremely memorable.”
-W.P. Kinsella, Books in Canada

"Arms, is a verbal heartache, a bravura performance of language and performance of language and perverse imagination. . . . The power of the book is unstoppable, largely because of the amazing imagery and manipulation of language. . . . The metaphorical quality of the novel dances between the magical and the realistic in an exquisite pairing. . . . Sonik’s voice is unusual and absolutely compelling. . . . what a journey!"
-Candace Fertile, Globe and Mail
