"Fraser's narrative is written with notable humor and compassion, combining elements of screwball comedy with savvy class analysis.... A shrewd and vibrant story of the resilience of ordinary people."

"Sara B. Fraser's prose is fluid, stylish and filled with exquisite turns of phrase. This may be only her second novel but she writes with immense confidence and a rare compassion for everyday people. There is truth and beauty in the pages of JUST RIVER and it deserves a wide readership."

"Just River by Sara B. Fraser is comedy writing at its best. The Otis River flows through a small city called Wattsville, a city full of ordinary people - or so you might think... It's a story of people pulling together to help one another, of growing in courage and self-esteem. There are several threads to this plot, each seemingly unrelated but all coming together to create a masterpiece. This vividly written tale gives us an insight into life in a small backwater town, with accurate descriptions that make you feel like you are living there. You'll either love or hate the characters; there won't be any in-betweens, but you'll be rooting for Carol and Garnet all the way through. A thoroughly enjoyable story, and the perfect way to pass a few hours."

"LONG DIVISION is a novel whose fluid narration and rich imagery carries a story that is deeply personal to its characters but universal in its themes."

"A troubled woman makes peace with her family in this well-written and introspective novel."
