Migration Songs is &#8220;an engaging tale, peppered with memorable scenes and lovingly drawn characters . . . Quon writes with a great deal of humour, and she spins a good yarn.&#8221;
—Quoting Sarah Steinberg&#8217;s review in the Dec. 2009 issue of Quill &#38; Quire

A very important message from Anna Quon—critically-acclaimed debut novelist:
&#8220;Hi people,
One in five people will experience a mental illness every year. Yes, that&#8217;s roughly 200,000 Nova Scotians! The system to help these people and their loved ones is not working. And currently our government has no strategy to improve things.
Take a moment. Visit www.oneinfive.ca [...]]]></description>

Quoting Sue Carter Flinn, reviewing Anna Quon&#8217;s new book &#8220;Migration Songs&#8221; for The Coast:


Anna Quon&#8217;s debut novel Migration Songs is a hopeful sign for Atlantic Canadian literature moving beyond the traditional rural stories and recognizing that we don&#8217;t all share the same history. Though Quon&#8217;s Halifax is a blur—this is really [...]]]></description>

STRESS: An essay on the healing power of work
