"she hits you with some extraordinary language and metaphors that make you wonder how a new writer has the audacity, talent, and courage to push and blur the boundaries." Wayne Ng, Ottawa Review of Books

"

"There is an intensity in Michelle Sinclair?s writing ? depth of insight into each character, each setting and each moment ? that draws the reader into the words of her story. . . . Almost Visible is a powerful study in themes of cultural and personal memory . . .. Every word, every moment has a place in her writing. This makes for excellent reading." Anne Smith-Nochasak, The Miramichi Reader

"Almost Visible is a poignant, time-traversing literary novel about the rewards of daring to involve oneself in a stranger?s pain." Karen Rigby, Foreword Reviews

"A novel that wisely and compassionately explores the self-shattering lines that exist between altruism and betrayal, cynicism and idealism, and the harsh price paid by both sides."David Adams Richards, Giller and Governor-General award winner

"A story about deep human connection wrapped in images of great beauty. Sinclair's novel offers a cross-cultural exploration of a fractured past turned into a contemporary obsession. A delightful read." Claudio Palomares-Salas, Associate Professor of Hispanic Studies, Queen?s University

"Michelle Sinclair takes the reader into the lives of characters on the cusp of adulthood as they navigate their worlds. From Montreal to an unnamed country in South America on the verge of a civil war, we see how family secrets impact the lives of the unsuspecting. I found myself thinking about Almost Visible and the book?s characters for weeks after turning the final page?always a sign of a good book." Blossom Thom, Montreal Poet, author of #HashtagRelief (Gaspereau 2017)
