Reviews / Votes
--A "Globe and Mail" Top 100 Book of the Year "Huston shows her mastery of complicated structure, wide culural knowledge, and brilliant, assured portraiture."--"The Globe and Mail" "There is something eminently subversive in Nancy Huston's latest novel. A forty-five-year-old woman dares to talk about her sexuality, her immense desire for men. But even more, "Infrared" is a staggering expression of the power of art as salvation."--"Voir" (Canada) "Compelling . . . A finely written examination of sexual politics and the importance of emotional triage."--"Quill & Quire" "Poetic . . . A ruminative and sensual read."--Zoe Whittall, " National Post" (Canada) "An intense and sensual novel"--"France Soir" "Nancy Huston is in top form writing about individual and collective memories, and she knows better than most how to dramatize family destinies."--"Le Monde des Livres" "Infrared, written in lyrical slivers and voluptuous prose is an engaging work."--"Canberra Times" (Australia)More details
