The Globe and Mail – January 17, 2004 (Page D16).
Wayne Grady reviews Joan Skogan’s Mary of Canada: The Virgin Mary in Canadian Culture, Spirituality, History and Geography, published by the Banff Centre Press. (The Globe has also reprinted the first chapter of the book.)
Skogan writes about Mary of Canada not as someone who has found something, but as a constant searcher; her prose is a probe, not a lance…. She is a hunter-gatherer of information, which she then enshrines in wisdom…. Mary of Canada is like that throughout: full of tender acts of mercy, gleanings from a millennium of history and brilliant flashes of insight, which taken together add up to sacred meaning.
