Review
"In its riveting evocation of teenage angst, Lost Between Houses recalls J.D. Salinger’s classic Catcher in the Rye…Funny, surprisingly moving." -Maclean’s"Lost Between Houses is strongly reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye, and in fact I would go so far as to say it offers many improvements on it.– Gilmour captures so many aspects of adolescence so well using the almost old-fashioned materials of interesting characters, carefully wrought scenes, sharp dialogue and genuine observations into human nature…. This book…is literature." -*The Toronto Star
"Gilmour gives us an empathic, intelligent, and compelling narrator–The range of experiences and emotions Gilmour manages to convincingly and thrillingly express through Albright amazed me again and again–So many of the story threads and recurrent images come together so devastatingly well at the end of this book that my breath was taken away repeatedly." -National Post
From the Trade Paperback edition.
