Trembling River

An intriguing dramaturgy, the literary novel Trembling River begins with a missing-persons riddle and develops into an exploration of sorrow and the ramifications of guilt on those left behind.

Foreword

A deep and respectful study in the impact of loss, the proliferation of guilt and judgment, and the ability of people to survive to face another day.

Miramichi Reader

Michaud’s novels are not typical, and her weaving of psychological and supernatural aspects takes her stories to another level. They do not overwhelm the story, but their presence is always felt, always hanging over the main characters and events, always elusive, always destructive. … A wonderful weaver of dark tales.

Winnipeg Free Press

When the inner dialogue of characters meandering down the frightening path to madness makes up most of the pages in a novel, it often becomes difficult to separate what is real from what isn’t. This challenge is all the more heightened when translating. The writing here is masterful.

Montreal Review of Books

Fast paced and engaging.

Cloud Lake Literary
