Oyster - Rilegato

"A precarious, sensuous masterpiece [that] draws us into a savage world [as] shimmering as the fabulous opals of the doomed reef." -Editors' Choice, The Globe and Mail

"Exquisitely told by an extraordinary writer.... Breathtaking, resonant, seductive.... A provocative metaphor for our planet at the end of the millennium." -Books in Canada

"A world both searing and and voluptuous, dark and light, harsh and merciful ... Oyster is her most ambitious -- and seamless -- novel to date. Brilliant." -Quill & Quire

"A triumphant novel." -The Montreal Gazette

"Janette Turner Hospital goes from strength to literary strength -- ever brilliant in ideas, graceful in expression, resourceful in story -- throwing in, for good measure, a heady eroticism." -Fay Weldon
