The Boat People remains in my Top Ten list of Canadian novels alongside novels by Michael Ondaatje, Michael Crummey, Margaret Atwood, Timothy Findley, Esi Edugyan, Guy Vanderhaege and Yann Martel. I love the feeling of building excitement when I encounter a book so original, so vital, so big in scope-what some would call brave or ambitious-and to top it off, so very beautifully written. I can hardly wait for Sharon Bala's new book!
